Kids’ Sesame Chicken Dumplings

• Place dumplings* in a large microwave-safe bowl (be sure to set dumpling sauce aside; you’ll use it in the next step). Cover dumplings with a damp paper towel; cover bowl with plastic wrap. Microwave until dumplings are steamed and warmed through, 2-3 minutes. • STOVETOP: Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add dumplings, flat sides down, and cook for 1 minute. (For 6 servings, you may need to work in batches.) Carefully add 1⁄3 cup water; cover and cook until water has evaporated and bottoms are crispy, 4-5 minutes.

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pan over medium-high heat. Add edamame and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and lightly charred in spots, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in dumpling sauce. Cook until sauce has mostly reduced, about 30 seconds.

• To serve: Divide dumplings and edamame between plates and serve with carrots and pineapple. • To stash: Let dumplings and edamame cool completely. Refrigerate dumplings, edamame, carrots, and pineapple in separate containers and pack as desired.

• Halve, core, and thinly slice apples. TIP: If you have a lemon on hand, toss sliced apples with 1 TBSP lemon juice to prevent apples from browning! • Place peanut butter, honey, ¼ cup chocolate baking bits (½ cup for 6 servings), and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 6) in a medium microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Microwave until peanut butter is softened and chocolate baking bits are melted, 30-45 seconds. Add a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and combined. • In a small bowl, combine yogurt and 1 tsp water (1½ tsp for 6).
