How to fry dumplings correctly: the main thing is not to make these mistakes

Frying dumplings is not difficult at all, and if you think otherwise, you are probably making some mistakes in the process of cooking. These include:

Defrosting pelmeni before cooking

Many people mistakenly believe that pelmeni must be defrosted beforehand.

In fact, it is better to take them out of the freezer in 10-15 minutes before the start of cooking – during this time they will soften a little, but will not stick to the pan and as a result will be fried evenly.

Too strong heating of the pan and oil

Overheating of the pan and oil – another common mistake when making dumplings. If you put frozen pelmeni on a very hot pan, you can't escape from splashes of hot oil.

Frying with a closed lid

When frying pelmeni, it is not recommended to cover them with a lid, because this may cause condensation. and the water will get into the hot oil, which can cause it to splatter.

In addition, the dumplings will not get a crispy crust under the lid, and will be soft and tasteless.

Frequent stirring

You should also not stir the dumplings often during frying. This can damage the dough and prevent the formation of a golden crust.
