Most often, such scrambled eggs with dumplings are prepared from dumplings cooked yesterday. But in this case, we will prepare dumplings specifically for this dish. You can prepare dumplings in two ways: boil in a saucepan or fry in a pan. I suggest using the latter. However, if you want to boil them, then do it as follows. Pour 1 liter into a large saucepan. water and boil it. Then add salt, lower the dumplings and stir. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook dumplings for 5-10 minutes. The cooking time depends on the amount and size of the dumplings.
How to choose the right dumplings?
A modern woman at the current pace of life cannot always stick dumplings on her own. Therefore, he resorts to the help of semi-finished products, which he buys in supermarkets. However, not all dumplings are of high quality, and in order to minimize the risk of buying a low-quality product, you should know certain rules.
Arriving at the store, take a pack of dumplings in your hands and look at the expiration date and production date. Ideally, the shelf life should not be more than one month, in extreme cases, perhaps 3 months. If you see the shelf life of dumplings for about a year, it means that there are practically no natural ingredients in them and there are many additives and preservatives. Also look for the barcode and manufacturer information on the label. Pay attention to the markings. It is better to choose dumplings where GOST or DSTU is indicated, if you see TU, refrain from buying.
Take a look at the ingredients list. The composition of the minced meat and dough must be indicated separately, and the spices by name. Minced meat should consist of 2-3 types of meat, onions and spices. The vegetable protein listed in the composition indicates the presence of soy in the dumplings. If the manufacturer does not specify the spices by name, it means that the composition contains flavor enhancers and flavors. The dough should only consist of flour, water and eggs.
The label must have an alphabetic product category that indicates the amount of meat in the minced meat. Category "A" says that the meat in the filling is more than 80%, "B" - 60-80%, "C" - 40-60%, "D" - 20-40%, "D" - less than 20%. The ratio of meat to dough should also be displayed: 60/40, 50/50 and 40/60. And, of course, look at the dumplings themselves, so the bags should be transparent. The product should be white, even, whole, without cracks, neat, with well-stuck edges, without minced meat.
