Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 60 seconds.
Step 2
Arrange dumplings flat-side down in a single layer. Let sear without moving for 3 minutes until bottoms turn golden brown.
Step 3
Pour water into the skillet (it will sizzle). Cover tightly and steam for 6 minutes until water nearly evaporates.
Step 4
Uncover. Shake the pan gently — the dumplings should slide freely. Drizzle soy sauce and rice vinegar over them.
Step 5
Slide dumplings onto a plate. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.
Step 6
Serve hot with soy-vinegar dipping sauce on the side.
