Dumplings are not only the favorite food of students, but also one of the oldest dishes. Its counterparts are found in many cuisines - Chinese (jiaozi), Mari (podkilyo), Mongolian (posture), Caucasian (khinkali), Central Asian (manty) and others. It is quite difficult to find at least one refrigerator where a bag of dumplings would not be waiting in the back of the freezer. By the way, making dumplings is a real art.
It is necessary
-
- pan;
- water;
- salt or broth in cubes (in granules);
- spices (bay leaf and others);
- timer;
- skimmer.
Instructions
Step 1
Lie on the couch until hungry nausea and gurgling in your stomach, then realize that it's time to eat something. Get up, put on your slippers and go to the refrigerator to look for a panacea for hunger, that is, hungry death.
Step 2
Not finding anything suitable (a couple of aged carrots living out their days and a can of open tomato paste do not count), take a deep breath and open the freezer. Here! Remove the bag of frozen dumplings from its blessed depths. Then, after a little thought, put it back and close the refrigerator.
Step 3
Go to the kitchen and find a large (2-3 liters) and clean saucepan. Fill it halfway with water and put it on fire.
Step 4
After the water boils, add a couple of cubes of broth into it (you can replace it with granular - then its amount will be 2 tablespoons), add a few peas of allspice and a couple of bay leaves.
Step 5
Go back to the refrigerator with the trodden path. Gently remove the dumplings from the freezer, open the bag and carefully pour its contents into boiling water. Stir the dumplings quickly so they don't stick together. Otherwise, for dinner you will not have dumplings, but one big "family" dumpling.
Step 6
After the water has boiled again, and the dumplings began to crowd together on its surface, reduce the heat to the minimum and note the time. From the emergence of the desired pieces of dough with meat to their readiness, it usually takes at least 10 minutes. Try not to choke on saliva at these moments.
Step 7
After 10 minutes, time comes X. Take a slotted spoon and start removing the dumplings from the pan with it. Be very careful to keep them intact. After all the dumplings have migrated from the pan to the plate, you can go to dinner.
