Ok, let’s get into the details on how to cook dumplings once you’ve put them all together! I’ll provide step-by-step instructions and tips for three different methods: steaming, pan-frying, and boiling. Method 1: Steam With the liquid still simmering, add frozen dumplings to the pot. Stir gently, then increase heat to bring the mixture to a boil again. Roll each piece of dough into a ball, and roll out the dough into a round shape measuring about 10 cm/ 4 inches in diameter. Take a look at the photo of the bottom of the bamboo steamer, below. The platform on which the dumplings will sit is raised about 2 cm. You want to make sure the steamer is sitting in enough water such that it doesn’t get scorched or burned, but not so much water that the boiling liquid touches the steaming platform. Add about ½ cup water to the pan and immediately cover. Allow to steam in the pan until all the water has cooked off, about 7 minutes.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk and melted butter. Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until the flour is just moistened. Be careful not to overmix, or the dumplings will become dense. They’re sustainably sourced, biodegradable, and easy to use. They come in different sizes and shapes, and can be used in bamboo steamers, metal steamers, steamer baskets, and air fryers. The poaching liquid for the potato dumplings should never boil. Just below a light simmer is the sweet spot. If you’re new to making potato dumplings, cook a test dumpling first. If it falls apart, add more starch to the dough. Thuringia-style dumplings are very minimalistic. Salt and starch are added to the dumpling batter. That’s it. For Bavaria-style dumplings, I like to enrich the dough with egg yolks and butter. Nutmeg and salt are then used to season the batter. Wrap each piece of dough in some cling film, and set aside on the kitchen bench to rest for about 30 minutes. During this time, the dough will sweat a little under the cling film (due to the hot water used in the dough). Step 3

Add the egg yolks, butter, flour, and starch to the warm, but not hot, potato puree. Mix everything briefly and season the dough to taste with nutmeg and salt. Knead briefly so that the seasoning is well distributed. Steamed dumplings are not only one of the healthier ways to go, they’re delicious! The outer wrapper stays firm and a little chewy. This is also one of the better ways to cook dumplings if you really want the flavor of the filling to shine through. Boiling dumplings is a great way to cook a big batch in very little time. Cooking them just right ensures that the wrappers are still al dente. Like steaming, boiling allows you to really taste the flavor of the juicy filling inside the dumplings.For this recipe, I used Reames frozen dumplings, because that’s what I can readily find in my local supermarkets. Roll a piece of dough into a small ball, and then use a floured rolling pin to roll it out into a round shape, roughly 10 cm/ 4 inches in diameter. I also recommend using a pasta roller attachment with an electric stand-mixer to roll out the dumpling wrappers. Get a tight fitting lid for your pan and hold it out in front of you as a kind of shield between you and the pan (you’re about to add the water to steam the dumplings, which will cause some oil splatter).
