No Ice, No Oil: What to Put in Dumplings to Make Them Juicier
The recipe for homemade dumplings will remain almost unchanged, but they will become juicier.
Not everyone likes store-bought products; many prefer to prepare this popular dish themselves.
In this case, there is an opportunity to improve the pelmeni by supplementing the usual recipe. This trick was known in Soviet times, but it has not lost its relevance today.
Onions should be added to the dumplings mince. The vegetable can be chopped using a meat grinder or simply cut with a knife.
Garlic will add piquancy and juiciness to the dish. For a kilogram of minced meat you will need about 2-3 cloves of this vegetable. Then all that remains is to pepper and salt the meat base.
During the cooking process, onions and garlic will release juice. The dumplings will not be dry even if lean meat is used.
Onions and garlic aren't the only ingredients that can improve homemade dumplings. You can add turmeric, thyme, or sage to minced chicken along with them. And pork dumplings will taste even better if you add a little rosemary.
