How to cook dumplings:
Cook fresh dumplings in boiling water. When making dumplings at home, be sure to wait until the water boils before adding them to the pot. When cooking dumplings, put the dumplings into the pot while the water is boiling, and then use a spatula to gently push them in one direction a few times to prevent the dumplings from sticking to each other or clogging the bottom of the pot.
The general saying is "Cover the pot to cook the stuffing, and uncover the pot to cook the skin." If the dumplings are cooked with the lid on as soon as they are taken out of the pot, the high temperature of the steam will easily break the dumpling wrappers.
After the dumplings are just taken out of the pot, the pot should be opened and cooked. After the dumpling wrappers are cooked, the pot lid should be covered in time to allow better cooking of the fillings. When the dumplings are about to float to the surface and are about to boil, remove the lid and cook the skins.
