Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make dumplings with pork and chicken? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Take the pork pulp; from the chicken, fillet of any part of it. It is better if the meat is chilled, then the filling will be juicier. If you have it frozen, then defrost it in advance by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Wash and dry the meat well, then cut into pieces.

Step 2

Step 2
Prepare minced meat for filling. How to make minced meat? First, pass the chicken fillet through a meat grinder with a fine grid. I took the breast, although you can take any part of it, as long as it is without bones and cartilage. I also remove the skin because it is oily, but you can leave it on if you like.

Step 3

Step 3
Next, scroll through the pork. It is better to take pork that is not very fatty and preferably without veins, so as not to break the meat grinder.

Step 4

Step 4
Skip the onions after the pork and add to the minced pork and chicken. Onions, if you like, you can take more, but for me this is the best option. And instead of regular onions, you can take red or white onions.

Step 5

Step 5
Pour 50 milliliters of water into a bowl with minced meat, add salt and pepper. Then stir it well. If you feel that the minced meat is very dense, add a little more water, otherwise it will not be juicy in the finished dumplings. Place the bowl of minced meat in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 6

Step 6
Meanwhile, prepare the dough. How to make the dough? Pour water into a bowl, preferably lukewarm, add egg and salt. Stir until smooth and salt dissolved.

Step 7

Step 7
Sift the flour into a bowl with the egg mixture, about two-thirds of the total mixture, pour in the vegetable oil and mix.

Step 8

Step 8
Add flour and knead the dough. It will be a little tight, but thatʼs normal. Wrap the dough in plastic and leave it alone on the counter for 25 minutes. During this time, the dough will “rest” and become soft and elastic.

Step 9

Step 9
Sprinkle the surface of the table with flour. Cut a piece of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll it into a thin layer, cut out circles. This can be done with any round mold. In the absence of one, I made it using an ordinary glass. The larger the diameter of the circle, the larger the finished dumplings will be.

Step 10

Step 10
Place the minced meat among the dough circles.

Step 11

Step 11
Bring the opposite ends of the dough circle together and seal them tightly.

Step 12

Step 12
Now take the ends of the blanks and connect them with a ring. Press them tightly together.

Step 13

Step 13
Sometimes, to make dumplings faster, I use a special dumpling maker. Ready-made dumplings can be frozen by placing them in bags in one layer.

Step 14

Step 14
How to cook dumplings? Boil a large amount of water in a saucepan, add salt. Throw the dumplings into the boiling water and stir so they don’t stick to the bottom. You can add bay leaf. After surfacing, cook the dumplings for about ten minutes.

Step 15

Step 15
Serve the dumplings with or without the broth they were cooked in. Bon appetit!
