Step 1
According to the method of eating dumplings, they can be divided into Russian, Georgian and Japanese. Russians, in turn, are subdivided into Siberian and Ladoga.
Step 2
Residents of Russia can afford dumplings as a daily food product. Nowadays, it is customary to season this dish with sour cream or some kind of mayonnaise; in the old days, people could not imagine such a luxury. The peculiarity of the use of Siberian dumplings is that they were consumed during the period of sacrifice. This usually happened in the fall. The local population slaughtered one of the available animals in order to increase the number of livestock next year. It is logical that dumplings were made from the carcass of a killed animal. The dumplings had to be eaten during the day. There was a belief that the faster you eat dumplings, the more livestock will be born. The second way to use dumplings is Ladoga. It is similar to the modern way of eating dumplings. People prepared dumplings in advance and ate them all winter. To prevent the product from spoiling, it was necessary to store it in the cold.
Step 3
Georgian dumplings are usually served with hot spices. Also, this product differs in its size, it is much larger than Russian dumplings. It is not customary to mix Georgian dumplings with any sauces, sour cream, mayonnaise. You need to eat them strictly in pure form. The only addition to this dish is herbs and spices. Georgian dumplings can be eaten while nibbling with onion feathers or garlic, parsley or an armful of dill. An important attribute of Georgian dumplings is pepper. If the dish is not decorated with it on the outside, then it must be on the inside. A local drink with lemon zest and lingonberry is also served with the dish.
Step 4
It is customary to eat Japanese dumplings with a spoon. Another feature of these dumplings is their roasting. As a rule, if a restaurant serves you boiled dumplings, you can safely ask them to fry them. The dumplings are also served with a small bowl of sauce. You can choose the flavor of the sauce according to your individual preferences. Often dumplings are served with a small bun filled with garlic. However, at the request of the client, the bun can be filled with cheese. It is also customary to serve green tea with the dish. In Japan, it is generally believed that it has a beneficial effect on the intestines and helps to digest the dish faster.
