Instant Pot Frozen Dumplings

Dumplings are one of those foods that everyone loves because they are so versatile. No matter if you are a vegetarian or meat lover, there is a dumpling out there for everyone!

As much as I love eating dumplings weekly, I don’t really love ordering take-out all the time. So once I discovered some yummy frozen dumplings at my local grocery store, I keep them in stock in my freezer at all times.

While there are multiple ways to cook them, I’ve found using the Instant Pot gave me the best result!

The best part about this recipe is how easy cleanup can be – simply wipe down any remaining liquid from inside the inner pot when you’re done!

What To Serve With Cooked Dumplings

When I buy frozen dumplings, they usually come with their own dipping sauce, but, if not, I’ll make my own! I will sometimes make a quick sauce made out of soy sauce and sesame oil or serve them with a bit of hot chili oil.

To really kick it up a notch, try making this sweet and spicy sriracha chili dipping sauce to serve with the dumplings.

Don’t forget the homemade egg rolls!
