Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix minced fish and garlic in a small bowl with a pinch of salt.

  2. Step 2

    Place 1 tsp filling in center of each wrapper. Wet edges with water, fold in half, then bring corners together and press to seal.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk peanut butter, vinegar, chili paste, and 3 tbsp warm water until smooth. Add salt to taste.

  4. Step 4

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 60 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Pan-fry dumplings in batches without crowding, 2 minutes per side until golden and edges curl.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer fried dumplings to a serving plate. Drizzle with peanut sauce or serve sauce on the side.
