You can prepare Lazy Dumplings a day in advance. Once you have assembled the dumplings, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you're ready to eat, simply reheat them in the microwave or steam them for a few minutes until heated through.

If you're looking for dietary substitutions, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of ground pork for a leaner option. For a vegetarian version, replace the meat with finely chopped mushrooms or tofu. Additionally, you can use gluten-free dumpling wrappers if you're avoiding gluten.

To store leftover Lazy Dumplings, allow them to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them; just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Lazy Dumplings are delicious when served with chili oil sauce, but you can also pair them with soy sauce, vinegar, or a homemade dipping sauce made from soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic for added flavor.

To cook Lazy Dumplings, first boil water in a deep-bottom wok and add a drizzle of cooking oil. Once boiling, add the dumplings and cook for 2-3 minutes until they float to the surface and are cooked through. Serve them immediately for the best taste!
