Dumplings in the microwave

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make dumplings in the microwave? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. You can use any dumplings: homemade, pre-cooked and frozen for future use, or store-bought semi-finished products. I took store-bought meat dumplings. You can change the set of spices depending on your taste preferences. Boil water in a kettle, then the cooking process will speed up significantly.

2. STEP 2

   

   There is no need to defrost the dumplings in advance. To cook dumplings in a microwave oven, it is better to use a clay pot or other high fire-resistant container so that the broth does not splash out during boiling. To increase the likelihood of keeping your microwave clean, it is better to place the pot of dumplings on a plate. Fill the dumplings in the pot with hot water immediately.

3. STEP 3

   

   You can increase the amount of water depending on what dish the dumplings will be served as (second or hot in a pot of broth). Add salt to taste, you can add any other spices if you wish. I put in a bay leaf; I always add it when cooking meat dumplings to muffle the specific taste of pork and beef in the dish. Place the pot in the microwave.

4. STEP 4

   

   Set the power to at least 900 and an approximate time of 5-8 minutes. You will have to rely on your technique and determine the time yourself. Additionally, divide it into two batches of cooking to control the process of cooking the dumplings and avoid rapid boiling of the broth.

5. STEP 5

   

   Remove the dumplings from the broth with a slotted spoon, serve with mayonnaise, sour cream or other sauce, sprinkled with chopped fresh herbs. A very quick method of preparing dumplings, unfortunately, has one drawback. You can prepare only one serving at a time, so for a large family it is still better to use the classic method - cooking dumplings on the stove. Bon appetit!

I would never have thought of cooking dumplings in the microwave; I always cook them on the stove. An excellent option for when the gas is turned off and the stove does not work. This recipe also helped me out when I came home hungry and the food wasn’t ready yet. I made one serving of twelve small dumplings. I added a little salt to the water, didn’t add any spices, the minced meat already has everything you need. I “cooked” the dumplings in a ceramic bowl for exactly eight minutes. Stir once during cooking. All the water was absorbed into the dumplings, they became soft and completely cooked. Sprinkled dill on top and seasoned with homemade ketchup. A super quick way to eat) And it's very tasty!

Dumplings in the microwave are a great way to quickly prepare a portion of a hot snack. If you like dumplings with broth, you can slightly increase the amount of water. Added herbs and butter to the finished dumplings. Here everyone can choose their favorite sauces and seasonings. Thanks for the recipe, Snezhana!

Really delicious. Oh, I’ve never seen this recipe before. We had problems with the stove and ate sandwiches.

I also cook dumplings in the microwave, but I just fill them with broth. And the proposed recipe is generally very original and unusual. Both options are interesting and worth taking note. Here is the second option, by the way
