COOK DUMPLINGS IN THREE WAYS

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a full boil over a high heat. Gently slide in dumplings.
• Push them around with the back of a spoon to avoid sticking. Cover with a lid.
• When the water comes back to a full boil, add about 120 ml / 0.5 cup of cold water then cover.
• Repeat the procedure twice. When fully cooked, the dumplings should be plump and floating on the surface.
• Transfer the dumplings to a colander. Briefly run tap water (make sure it's drinkable water) over. Drain and serve immediately.
• Heat up a little oil (just enough to cover the surface of your pan) over a high heat. Place in dumplings.
• When the bottom part of the dumplings becomes golden brown, pour in cold water (enough to cover 1/3 of the dumplings). Cover with a lid.
• Uncover when the water evaporates completely. Cook another 30 seconds or so to crisp up.
• Scatter carrot slices in the steamer basket, then place dumplings on top (This is to avoid sticking. You may use parchment paper or coat the steamer with a little oil).
• Bring the water to a full boil, then place the basket in.
• Cook with lid on over a medium heat for around 10 minutes (The time may vary depending on the type of the wrappers, please see note 3).

DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Whilst your stew is bubbling, make the dumplings. Weigh the flour into a bowl and add ½ tsp salt. Stir through the suet and parsley, if using. Make a well in the centre and add 3 tbsp cold water, mix to a dough, adding more water until the dough is firm but pliable. Divide into eight equal pieces and roll in a little more flour into balls. Chill until needed.
• When the stew has about 30 mins to go, arrange the dumplings on top and cover with a lid. With the oven at 160C/140C fan/gas 3, cook the stew and dumplings for 20 mins, then remove the lid and cook for another 10 mins until they're brown and puffed up.
