3. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add dumpling, reduce heat to medium, and cook until undersides are browned, about 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, add broth, and cover tightly. Boil until liquid has almost completely evaporated, about 8 minutes. Remove cover and cook until liquid is evaporated and dumplings are sizzling, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately, letting guests choose their own proportions of soy sauce, vinegar, and hot oil for dipping.
