Dumplings are the most familiar food to us Chinese, because when festivals come, most families eat dumplings. And you can choose according to your own taste. After all, there are many types of dumpling fillings, including not only meat fillings, but also vegetarian fillings. Sometimes we are really too lazy to make dumplings, so we will choose some quick-frozen dumplings to take home. So, what are the steps to make dumplings?

Step 1: Take a medium-sized pot and put it in an appropriate width of water, add some salt, and bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 2: Wait for the water to boil before placing the dumplings. Hold the plate with the dumplings in one hand, pick up the dumplings with the other hand and put them into the pot. Be careful not to let the water splash out and burn your hands. Don't put too many dumplings in the pot at one time, just enough for one plate.

Step 3: After all the dumplings are put into the pot, use a wooden spatula to dig deep into the bottom of the pot and stir gently a few times to prevent some dumplings from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Then cover the pot and cook for about 20 seconds, or until the water boils again.

Step 4: Open the lid of the pot at this time. You can see that the dumplings are floating slightly. Use a wooden spatula to dig into the bottom of the pot again and stir gently to make the dumplings float and not stick to the bottom of the pot. At this time, you can add a little cold water, cover the pot, and continue to boil until the water boils.

If the dumplings are filled with vegan fillings, they are ready to be eaten at this time. If it is meat dumplings, continue with the following steps.

Step 5: Add cold water again, do not cover the pot, and cook until the water boils. Add a little more cold water, let the water boil again, and the dumplings are ready.

Summary:

Cooking dumplings requires high heat throughout so that the dumpling wrappers are not easily broken. Add salt to the water to prevent the dumplings from sticking. Add cold water once to dumplings with vegetarian fillings, and add cold water three times to dumplings with meat fillings, which is "three boils and three drops of water".
