Many people love dumplings for their taste and ease of preparation.

Still, this semi-finished product is a great help if you want to quickly prepare a hearty lunch.

But it happens that store-bought dumplings stick together during the cooking process and lose their shape.

As a result, what ends up on the plate is far from the most appetizing dish.

Experienced cooks know that this problem can be easily prevented. The whole secret is in one additional component that should be added to the water before the dumplings.

We are talking about ordinary table vinegar, which preserves the shape of products, prevents dumplings from sticking together in water, and also gives the treat a brighter and richer taste and aroma.

For two liters of clean cold water, you should take only one tablespoon of this ingredient. You can use apple or wine vinegar.

In addition, it would not be a bad idea to add some peppercorns, a pinch of salt and a bay leaf to make the dumplings more delicious.

As soon as the liquid boils, you can pour the semi-finished products into it.
