It is unlikely that you will be able to improve the taste of cheap store-bought dumplings in any other way.

So, first you need to cook about 300 grams of meat. An excellent option is beef.

The prepared dish needs to be chopped. There is no need to pour out the broth: you will need it too.

Next, you should start preparing the frying: you need to heat-treat several finely chopped vegetables in a deep container. We are talking about carrots, onions, bell peppers (one each), and three cloves of garlic.

Add a little tomato paste to the resulting mixture (1 tbsp is enough).

After 7 minutes of frying, pour broth into the container with the vegetables and throw in the previously prepared pieces of meat.

You also need to pour all the dumplings from the pack there. You should also add salt and your favorite spices. The fire should be kept to a minimum.

As soon as the main product is ready, you can transfer the contents of the container to plates and start eating Uzbek-style dumplings: the dish will certainly be incredibly appetizing.
