Essential Tools

To make these soup dumplings, a few essential tools will come in handy. A bamboo steamer is a great investment, as it allows for even steaming and can hold multiple dumplings at once. Alternatively, any steamer basket will work, but ensure it’s lined to prevent sticking.

A rolling pin is necessary for flattening the dough evenly. You may also consider using a dough scraper to help manage your dough without making a mess. Finally, having a sharp knife or a dumpling cutter can assist in forming perfect circles for the wrappers.

Storing and Reheating

If you find yourself with leftovers, storing them correctly is key to maintaining their texture and flavor. Place the cooked dumplings in an airtight container and refrigerate. They should last for up to three days. If you'd like to freeze the uncooked dumplings, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen solid, transfer them to a freezer bag for future use.

When it comes to reheating, steaming is the best method to retain moisture and prevent them from drying out. If reheating cooked dumplings, place them in a steamer over boiling water for about 5-10 minutes. For frozen uncooked dumplings, steam directly from the freezer, extending the cooking time a bit.
