Fried dumplings like in the best restaurant: a trick that all chefs keep quiet about
Do you think dumplings are boring?
Wait until you try them in a crispy crust with a sauce that will make your legs go numb. The secret is not in the dumplings themselves, but in how you cook them.
Boil them as usual, but not completely - let them remain slightly raw inside. Then heat a frying pan with oil and lay out the dumplings in one layer.
Fry for two minutes, then pour in half a glass of water and cover with a lid. The steam will soften them and the oil will create a crispy sole.
Now for the magic sauce: mix mayonnaise, ketchup, garlic and a pinch of sugar. Pour it over the dumplings right in the pan and sprinkle with grated cheese. Close the lid for another minute to melt the cheese. But it's not
For example, add a spoonful of soy sauce to the sauce for depth of flavor or a drop of hot chili. And if you're tired of cheese, replace it with fried onions or mushrooms.
Another life hack: if the dumplings are hand-made and too thick, pierce them with a toothpick before frying - this will allow the steam to escape and prevent them from exploding.
Do you know how to make the dish even more impressive? Serve the dumplings in individual pans, sprinkled with sesame and dill. Or make them into a "nest": lay them out in a circle and pour sauce into the center.
For those who like crunch, fry the dumplings without water until golden brown on all sides.
And don’t forget to experiment with the filling: for example, cheese dumplings with pesto sauce or sweet ones with cherries and powdered sugar.
This dish will be a hit in your kitchen - it's been proven that after this, children will even ask for dumplings for breakfast!
