What kind of flour is used for dumplings?

The most common all-purpose flour works just fine! However, it’s a good idea to understand your flour.

Flour with a medium level of gluten works best. The dough is easy to work with.

How long do dumplings take to steam?

Steam dumplings for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender and cooked through.

Do you cook meat before putting it in dumplings?

If the filling is wet (i.e., watery) rather than sticky, as is the case with already cooked meat, the filling will pull away from the wrapper during steaming or frying. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule.

When the meat is gelatinous, it is possible to mince it after cooking and use it as a dumpling filling.
