How dumplings are cooked in China
In China, dumplings are defrosted before cooking. This is done so that they do not burst during cooking.
To speed up the defrosting process, Chinese housewives soak dumplings in warm water.
When defrosted this way, the dough absorbs some water and becomes more flexible. As a result, the dumplings do not burst when immersed in boiling water.
In addition, after the water with dumplings boils, Chinese housewives add a little cold water to the pan.
Earlier, the expert explained why you shouldn’t sprinkle salt on the coals when preparing shashlik.
