Recipe Introduction


From Chef Ron: Russian women traditionally made these dumplings just as winter arrived. They would make them in mass quantities, then freeze them by putting them in racks out in the snow. When you wanted a feed of dumplings, just brush off the snow and boil them! Of course, these days, we just put them in the freezer. They make a great meal in a bowl if you boil them with some chicken stock and serve them with chopped green onions, or just boil them in water and serve with sour cream, hot mustard, or even a little bit of soya sauce and vinegar mixed together.

List of Ingredients




Dumpling Ingredients:

2 cups lukewarm water
1 egg, beaten
3 and a half to 4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar

Filling Ingredients:

Half a pound each of ground beef and ground pork
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste

Recipe



Add the egg, sugar and salt to the water, then gradually add the flour. You want to make a soft dough. Turn the dough out on a floured board and knead until smooth. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for half an hour.

Mix all the filling ingredients together. Using a quarter of the dough at a time, roll out to one-quarter to one-eighth of an inch thick. (You may need to add some flour so the dough doesn't stick.) Use a small water glass to cut out rounds of dough. Place about a teaspoon of filling on one round, then cover with another round and pinch around the edge to make a round, compact dumpling.

Place a dozen or so dumplings at a time into boiling water or chicken stock. When they float to the surface, they're done! Serve hot with sour cream, hot mustard, or soya sauce and vinegar mixed together. Or serve with the chicken stock and some chopped green onions as a soup. The filling is very simple, but VERY tasty!
