Tips to Make Lazy Soup Dumplings
Here are a few insider tricks to elevate your dumpling game:
- Double the filling: Always make extra — it freezes well for later lazy nights!
- Experiment with flavors: Adding a bit of chili oil to the filling gives you a pleasant kick.
- Don’t skip the sealing step: A good seal ensures the broth stays in. If it leaks, you’ll have sloppy dumplings (which might still taste good, but we want the broth IN the dumpling)!
