Vareniki are a relatively easy dish to make. Just put them in boiling water and wait.
But sometimes they start to stick together during cooking and then look unappetizing.
It is important to understand that the reason for sticking is not always due to improper cooking or freezing of the product.
Let's figure out why dumplings stick together during the cooking process.
Why can dumplings stick together?
Here are some reasons:
- poor quality or stale products;
- the dumplings were outside the refrigerator for a long time;
- the dish was not thrown into boiling water;
- the dumplings were not stirred during cooking;
- the dish took longer to cook than required;
- The dumplings were frozen several times.
It is important to throw the dumplings into salted water and stir them immediately. Also, do not cook them longer than the prescribed time. It is also recommended to add a spoon of vegetable oil during cooking.
