Chinese chefs told how to cook dumplings so that they did not fall apart and burst in the pan, and their taste was like that of a restaurant dish.

Details

Dumplings are a dish of Chinese cuisine, so who but the creators of this dish should know the secrets of its preparation.

Before cooking, you should soak the dumplings in cool water for 3 minutes.

This is necessary in order to bring the dumplings to room temperature. Nothing will happen to dumplings in cold water.

Next, the Chinese recommend following the "three glasses of cold water" principle.

Dumplings burst from temperature changes, so they cannot be thrown into boiling water.

Drop the dumplings into hot water, wait until it boils, and pour a glass of cold water into the pot. Repeat when the water starts to boil again.

You are probably surprised by this method of cooking, because the package often says "throw dumplings into boiling water." This is a mistake.

With this method of preparation, the dough is prepared more slowly, and the meat filling faster.

As a result, the dumplings are not only beautiful in appearance, but also very juicy, just like in a restaurant.
