  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    How to make Kreplach Jewish dumplings? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Boil chicken fillet in salted water until tender. Let it cool slightly and grind it in a meat grinder or grind it into minced meat using a blender.

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    Sift wheat flour into a deep bowl, add salt, pour in water and add chicken yolks; we will need the whites to prepare the filling, so don’t throw them away.

  3. STEP 3

    STEP 3

    Mix the ingredients and knead with your hands into an elastic, smooth dough; it should not stick to your hands. Wrap it in cling film and put it in the refrigerator to rest for half an hour.

  4. STEP 4

    STEP 4

    In a bowl with minced chicken, add finely chopped onions, simmered in vegetable oil heated in a frying pan. Add the remaining chicken whites, salt and ground black pepper to taste. Mix the ingredients until smooth.

  5. STEP 5

    Remove the rested dough from the refrigerator, divide it into parts and roll it out on a dusty work surface into a thin rectangular layer, cut it into squares approximately six by six centimeters in size.

  6. STEP 6

    STEP 6

    Place some prepared minced meat in the center of each square of dough.

  7. STEP 7

    Press the edges of the dough together to make the dumplings shaped like triangles.

  8. STEP 8

    STEP 8

    Pour water into a saucepan, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil. Instead of water, you can use chicken broth. Dip the dumplings into boiling water. Gently stir them all at once with a slotted spoon to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan. From the moment the water boils, cook the kreplach for about 5 minutes, because the meat filling in them is already ready.

  9. STEP 9

    STEP 9

    Remove the dumplings from the water with a slotted spoon, place them in a deep plate, pour over them with the hot broth in which they were boiled, and serve. Bon appetit!

The recipe for kreplach Jewish dumplings came across the site and aroused curiosity, like dumplings, but in a different way. Just boiled a piece of chicken, chop it, add aromatic spices, wrap it in a piece of dough, and cook for five minutes. My kreplach turned out large but tasty. Thanks for the recipe.
