What are dumplings? Truly, they can be called a national product that has gained immense popularity throughout the post-Soviet space. And some, probably, remember their sticky "domestic" version, sealed in large paper boxes of incomprehensible colors. Now times have changed, and the product looks presentable and attractive - it is easy and quick to prepare, it does not fall apart into "spare parts". However, few housewives know that these "bread ears" are supposed to be not only boiled. You can also make deep-fried dumplings. They are delicious and original and are as quick to prepare as boiled in boiling water. All in all, worth a try!

A few words about the main product

“Bread ears” (this is what the word “dumplings” means in the Permian languages) are also different, after all. For deep-fried dumplings, it is better to choose small varieties of the product. And all for purely practical reasons: large “bast shoes” can be perfectly fried on the outside, while remaining raw inside. This fact is depressing for a novice cook, unless you are a fan of raw meat. So shell fried indeep-fried dumplings should not be too thick, but preferably made from durum cereal flour. This prevents the dish from falling apart during cooking. But by the way, you yourself can prepare a semi-finished product by rolling out the dough with your own hands and stuffing it with delicious homemade minced meat. But this article is not about that.

Deep-frying

So, we figured out the main product - here we have it, laid out on a board, generously sprinkled with a layer of flour. Now it's up to the small (for oil). What is it supposed to cook deep-fried dumplings on? After all, various components containing fat can also be used for it.

Earlier, several centuries ago, melted animal fat was used for cooking. But we will not do this for various reasons: nutritional, ethical and others. For a modern composition, vegetable oil is best suited as a base. What to choose? Some use ordinary sunflower (but not for salads, but intended specifically for frying). Some - corn (it has now appeared in wide sale). And some gourmets advise using even grape seed oil for cooking deep fat - it supposedly has an optimal boiling point. But we won’t, because then you get insanely expensive dumplings. Deep-fried, of course, they can be fried on such an exotic product, and, of course, they will come out delicious, but we are inclined to think that this should be a quick and budget dish, not sowhether?

As an additive to vegetable oil, you can use a little butter (ratio of about 1 to 5). But keep in mind that animal fat burns faster than vegetable fat.

A few tips

Frying is prepared as follows. At the bottom of the container, generously pour sunflower or corn oil (so that the product to be fried can be completely immersed). We heat it up to a high temperature and add a piece of butter (you can also take a spread). When this ingredient has melted in the base, make the fire smaller on the stove. Now you can start cooking.

Deep-frying should sizzle cheerfully, and not gurgle quietly. And the product - to be covered with a ruddy crust, and not dully swim in an incompletely heated oil, absorbing fats.

If there is no deep fryer at hand, you can use an ordinary saucepan or a deep frying pan plus a metal sieve. Put dumplings on it and immerse them in boiling oil.

The product must be completely (or at least mostly) deep-fried. Then the dish will turn out "correct".

Deep-fried dumplings: the recipe, actually…

Well, here we come to the frying process itself. Everything is very simple. We spread the dumplings on the grid so that they do not touch each other, and immerse them in boiling deep fat. How much time to cook? Knowledgeable sources say: to a golden blush. As a rule, it takes 5 to 10 minutes depending on the size of the dumplings and the temperature of the oil. The finished dish is like seeds: it crunches and is eateninstant, goes well as a snack. Bon appetit everyone!
