Only at first glance it may seem that the process of cooking dumplings is simple.

If you just throw them in water for a few minutes and forget about them, the semi-finished product may stick together and become overcooked.

Therefore, you cannot do without additional manipulations if you want to get the perfect dish for lunch.

As chefs point out, it is important to prepare the water properly.

Not only does it need to be heated, but a little vinegar should also be added.

The thing is that this additional product helps the dumplings keep their shape, not stick together or fall apart in water.

In this case, it is enough to take just one tablespoon of such a product per two liters of clean water. If you want to get a brighter taste, then you should give preference to wine or apple vinegar.

In addition, you need to add a little salt, black peppercorns and bay leaf to the pan.
