In order for dumplings to reach their maximum potential, attention must be paid to all stages of preparation.

It is extremely important to work on juicy and aromatic minced meat, which can easily be spoiled by unnecessary components.

You also need to remember that the dough should be “light”, but flexible.

But the cooking process itself is not as simple as it seems at first glance. If you add nothing to the water except salt, the dumplings will turn out mediocre.

What to use

Bay leaf with peppercorns

This is a real classic, without which many cannot imagine the process of cooking dumplings. The selected spices do their job perfectly.

Therefore, you should not refuse to use them.

Baked onions

Rarely will a housewife use such an unusual component for cooking dumplings, but this ingredient will make the dish as aromatic as possible.

Of course, you can also introduce regular raw onions, but the effect will not be as pronounced.

Garlic

The component is pre-cleaned from the husk and added to the pan. Two cloves will be quite enough. You can also add dried herbs, which will help the dough become more aromatic and pleasant to taste.
