A user of the Chinese social network WeChat revealed the main mistake when cooking dumplings, and also gave tips on how to properly prepare this product reports Inosmi .
The author of the post emphasized that, despite the convenience, cooking frozen dumplings is not easy. He noticed that many people throw the product into a pot of boiling water, but this is wrong: due to the temperature difference, they burst. In addition, at high temperatures, starch sticks together, and this will lead to the fact that the dumplings stick together.
In order to avoid this, the user gave some tips. So, before cooking, the dumplings must be brought to normal temperature. Thus, the dough will absorb some water, which will increase its plasticity, so the dumplings will not burst when cooking.
In addition, it is important that the water is not cold or boiling. A water temperature of 50 degrees is best. Also, after boiling water, you need to add cold water to the pan so that the heating temperature remains uniform, the author of the post concluded.

However, it is important not to rush. Then the water should be drained and the potatoes left alone until they dry out. Only then can it be fried in a pan in hot oil.
