According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, cook, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova, this is quite realistic.
You will only need some additional ingredients: soy sauce and… granulated sugar.
How to improve the taste of store-bought dumplings
First, fry the dumplings without any additives.
Place the frozen semi-finished product in a preheated frying pan, into which vegetable oil has been poured in advance.
Heat the dumplings until a golden brown crust appears on their surface.
Transfer the partially cooked dish to a plate and completely drain the pan of oil: you won’t need this viscous liquid anymore.
Next, prepare the secret ingredient that makes store-bought dumplings as delicious as possible.
Just add a little sugar to the soy sauce.
Return the dumplings to the pan, pour the resulting liquid over them. Simmer the dish until done.
Thanks to this unusual additive, store-bought dumplings will acquire a bright taste and a crispy caramel crust.
