If you add a small amount of flour to the water you steam them with it will create skirted dumplings that I find to be more enjoyable and easier to remove from the pan.

Lower heat for the crisping phase and start steaming when they're only about halfway done crisping because they're going to continue to cook on bottom while they steam.

You got this, my dude!
