Whisk together 1/3 cup of water, 2 1/4 teaspoons of all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt in a measuring cup with a spout.

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat.

Arrange the dumplings towards the center of the pan.

Cook the dumplings for about 2 to 3 minutes until the bottoms start to turn golden.

Carefully pour the flour slurry into the pan, covering the spaces between the dumplings.

Reduce the heat to medium or medium-low and cover the pan with a lid, cooking for 5 to 6 minutes.

Uncover the pan and check if any pale areas remain; move the pan around to focus heat on those areas until they turn golden.

Turn off the heat and carefully place a plate over the dumplings, then flip everything over.
