Even homemade dumplings can be safely considered fairly simple dishes, since the cooking method is accessible and well-known.
However, it is precisely because of this that difficulties may arise during the process of working with the dish.
What mistakes spoil dumplings
Cooking fresh preparations
Some housewives like to cook freshly cooked dumplings, as they are more tender and tasty. But for this very reason, an unpleasant situation with "runaway" filling may arise.
Therefore, it is still preferable to cook frozen semi-finished products.
Defrosting dumplings or waiting a long time before cooking
It is still worth keeping a pack of dumplings in the freezer until you decide to start cooking them.
If the semi-finished product defrosts, the dish may stick together.
Correct water temperature
Not all housewives pay attention to what water they put the dumplings in to boil, which is a serious mistake. Therefore, it is worth remembering one simple rule: if you do not want the dumplings to stick together, then you should put them in pre-salted boiling water.
Imbalance of water and quantity of semi-finished products
Pelmeni should be cooked in a sufficient amount of water, as they can stick together. Therefore, you should not try to cook a decent quality dish in a small saucepan.
Temperature of the frying pan during frying
Some housewives prefer to fry pelmeni, but even here difficulties may arise. The semi-finished product must be cooked in a well-heated frying pan.
If this is not done, the dumpling shell will stick to the surface of the dish.
