Stuck-together dumplings are as disappointing as lumpy mashed potatoes or rice that lacks its crispness.

Dumplings stick to each other because of one common mistake that all young housewives have made.

A stuck-together lump of dumplings cannot be called a beautiful dish. In order for the result to please and instantly awaken the appetite, you need to prepare the dumplings.

Culinary trick

Temperature changes have a negative effect on pelmeni. After cooking, they turn into a solid lump that almost has to be cut with a knife, like a meat pie.

Freezer dumplings should be pre-rinsed in warm water to loosen the dough a bit. Only then can they be thrown into a saucepan and cooked.

But what to do if the rule was broken? In this case, pour a glass of cold water into the pan to reduce the temperature. In this case, there is a chance that the dish will not turn into an incomprehensible mush.
