Dumplings can be cooked in water or steamed.

Cooking

• Cover and bring to a boil over high heat
• Add as many dumplings as can fit comfortably in a single layer in the pot and cook them until they float.
• Let them cook for additional minutes. Get them out, drain them and serve.

Steaming

• Steaming is a much faster method as you only need to bring a few cups of water to a boil instead of an entire pot.
• Texturally, it'll also leave the skins a little stretchier and firmer
• It does require the use of a bamboo steamer insert for your wok or pot
• It's a worthwhile investment if you do any amount of Asian cooking, and they also make great stacking storage devices for potatoes and alliums.
