Many housewives encounter the problem that dumplings start to stick to the pan or even to each other during cooking, forming a solid lump.

This worsens the quality of the dish, since it is unlikely that you will be able to arrange the dumplings on the plate aesthetically.

Three tricks to keep dumplings from sticking together

Large volume of water

Many people forget that the semi-finished product cannot be cooked in a small saucepan with a small amount of water. There simply won't be enough space for the dumplings.

Therefore, for 300 grams of semi-finished product, feel free to take a liter of liquid.

Refusal to defrost

Sometimes you can find strange recommendations that dumplings need to be defrosted before cooking. But this is a big mistake. Because of this, the dish will burst and stick.

Therefore, add the frozen semi-finished product to the pan.

Oil

Many have heard that it is worth adding 1-2 spoons of any vegetable oil to a pan with dumplings. This is a correct recommendation. However, not everyone knows that you can safely add a cube of butter for the same purpose.

The second option will also add a pleasant flavor to the dumplings.
