chef’s tips
Steam with Care: Add a small amount of water to the pan and lightly coat dumplings with pan spray to prevent sticking. Cook in Small Batches: Steam or pan-sear dumplings in small batches to maintain texture and quality throughout service. Create the Perfect Crisp: Finish dumplings on the flat top until golden brown for a crispy exterior. Layer with Intention: Build bowls starting with the base, then add dumplings, sauces, fresh garnishes, and sides. Finish Fresh: Top bowls with sesame seeds, scallions, and fresh cilantro for color and flavor. Make It Their Own: Encourage guests to customize their meals with signature sauces and a sesame cucumber salad add-on. Ensure cashiers are properly trained to capture add-ons and upsells at the register. Visit MyCompass for additional resources.
