Traditionally, dumplings are boiled. Just 8-10 minutes, and a fragrant dish made of dough and minced meat is already on your table. But some prefer to fry dumplings. In this case, the presentation becomes quite unusual, and the familiar taste for many starts to take on new colors.
The main thing is to follow a few recommendations. It is important that the dumplings do not burn or stick together during frying. First, you need to heat the pan over high heat. Then reduce it and add oil. After that, you can place the dumplings evenly across the surface. Fry for about 5 minutes on each side.
After that, you should lower the heat, flip the dumplings once more, cover the pan with a lid, and fry for another 2-3 minutes. After that, you need to turn off the stove, but let the dumplings sit for another couple of minutes. This was mentioned on the YouTube channel "Without an Apron." Thus, the entire process of preparing fried dumplings will take no more than 16 minutes, not counting the time to heat the oil.
Some chefs recommend adding sour cream or onion to the pan. Others prefer frying only in butter.
