How to fry frozen dumplings in a frying pan. How to fry dumplings (the only correct recipe)

Tomorrow is February 23rd, which means we can forgive a lot on this holiday of real tough men. Are you preparing breakfast for the young lady on March 8th? Well, that means on the 23rd you can cook for yourself an absolutely forbidden, terribly unhealthy and fatty, but VERY TASTY dish. And here the famous section “Recipes for laymen”, aka “Merry Khryuchevo”, aka “Eating Rumbling”, will come in handy! Today we will fry dumplings!

To make it work as it should, you first need to take the trusty alpenstock and cut out of the ice in the freezer a pack of dumplings that your grandmother bought on the day of Brezhnev’s funeral. In fact, it doesn’t matter to us what kind of dumplings they are, since the tradition of frying dumplings is rooted in the Soviet past, when they were sold in red and white cardboard packs in one sticky lump, and it was impossible to boil them, you could only fry them, and then they were served to table in a more or less dumpling-like appearance. We also need seasoning (or salt and pepper), vegetable oil (which is poured), a glass of boiling water and a frying pan with a very tight-fitting lid. Now you will understand why.

Place the frying pan over medium heat, heat the oil in it, pour in enough to cover the bottom, but not more. While the oil is heating up, I’ll tell you that this recipe was told to me by the wardrobekeeper of the second dormitory of the Faculty of Bashkir Philology, Rosa Ildarovna Tsoi. And she definitely knows a lot about worthy food pleasure.

As soon as the oil begins to smoke, immediately dump the dumplings from the pack into it. Here you need to mix them so that the oil hugs them on all sides. Cover with a lid and wait for friendship to happen in the pan.
While the oil is trying to brown the dumplings on one side, I’ll tell you that besides this correct recipe, there are two main trends in frying dumplings. The first is the so-called “raw school”. This is when frozen dumplings are fried in a large amount of oil. Unfortunately, it is not possible to bring them to readiness - they burn on the outside and are raw on the inside. Although there are fans of this kind of Khryuchev. Let's quickly go to the next picture, I'll tell you about the second school.

Raise the lid and turn the dumplings over. Usually at this moment I begin to see individualities in each of them and give them names. Look how impudently the blushing Alik behaves, pushing Olesya and Marat away from the center of the frying pan. By the way, at this moment we need to add salt to our friends, or add universal seasoning. To taste.
So, about the second trend in dumpling frying. This school is called "Inner Tolstoy". According to its canons, dumplings are first boiled with roots and a fair bunch of bay leaves until half cooked, and then fried in melted Chukhon butter with celery shavings. The taste is fun and pleasant, but the texture of the dumplings during processing becomes unpleasantly loose and loses points on the “oily”, “rumbling” and “tartness” scales.

We are facing a difficult moment that our other halves definitely cannot look at. As soon as you understand that the dumplings are more or less evenly fried on all sides to a nice golden crust, take a glass of boiling water and pour it into the frying pan. The water should cover our friends up to half. Everything there will immediately hiss, bubble, and begin to splash. Quickly and clearly, like in the eighties, cover the frying pan with a lid and wait until everything calms down. While you wait, you can use paper towels to wipe up any grease spills from your stove, countertops, floors, walls, and ceiling.

When the liquid has calmed down, you need to turn up the heat to high, remove the lid and stir the dumplings periodically to prevent them from burning. This is precisely the secret of Rosa Ildarovna - the dumplings fried on top in these few minutes reach readiness and become silky in this pleasant oily environment.

Beauty, right? Now is the time to taste our delicious brew and understand whether you need to add salt and pepper. The liquid boils away almost completely, the dumplings begin to stick to the surface of the pan, and this is a signal that our holiday dish is ready.

Voila. Let's post it! We take seasonings and sauces and “eat rumbling” (c). My favorite combination for fried dumplings is sour cream with adjika. Bon appetit, guys! Don’t forget to cook according to my recipes for laymen and write to me about the results)

And don't forget to share this great recipe with your friends! They will thank you and give you a lot of money and honor! Happy holiday!)

If you have unexpected guests, frying dumplings is an ideal option. It will take very little time. The outside is crispy and the meat inside is juicy. Very tasty :)

Don't forget that dumplings are very high in calories, and fried ones are especially high. Therefore, you should not abuse it. This is a good option for some rare cases. But not for every day. The calorie content of 100 grams of dish, depending on the minced meat, is 200-300 kcal.

  • To make fried dumplings less caloric. Before eating, place the finished product first on a paper towel. This will drain off excess fat.
  • If you fry the product from frozen, let it thaw a little. Place the dumplings on the table and leave for 10-15 minutes. When the dough has softened a little, press them lightly with your hands to flatten them a little. Then the product will be fried very well.
  • I also recommend trying to fry dumplings in a deep fryer. They turn out to look like chebureks or belyashi in miniature. Very original and tasty.
  • When buying dumplings in a store, pay attention to their category. It is indicated on the packaging. It is best to choose category “A”, this product contains 80% meat. Category “B” is also not bad - from 60% to 80% meat.

There are also categories “B”, “G”, “D”. But I don't recommend buying them. The quality of such a product is questionable, as is its taste. There is more dough than meat. May contain various additives: soy, semolina, flavorings. The best thing, of course, are the dumplings made by yourself. Nothing compares to them. Do you agree?

Lovers of an appetizing crust prefer to fry frozen dumplings. Let them thaw for 10-15 minutes, then heat the frying pan and pour in vegetable oil. When it warms up, reduce the heat slightly.

Throw the semi-finished product into the pan so that the dumplings are not too close to each other, otherwise they will stick together. Add salt and spices, your favorite seasonings. Fry for three minutes on each side. Then pour 150 ml of boiled water into a container, throw in a bay leaf and a couple of allspice peas.

Fried dumplings are a tasty and simple dish that both guests and family will appreciate. They are good for everyday dinners and for special occasions when guests come unexpectedly.

Tired of regular dumplings? Have guests arrived unexpectedly? Just want to experiment with an original Russian product? Below are several recipes on how to deliciously cook dumplings in an unconventional way. After all, such pillows with meat, familiar to us from childhood, can not only be boiled and served with broth or sour cream, but also fried, baked in the oven, cooked in pots and even made into a pie.

Like in a frying pan, every student who has spent years of study in a dormitory probably knows. But you shouldn’t assume that the dish will be tasteless, and only a young, healthy and, most importantly, hungry student’s stomach will be able to digest it. True, cooled meat dumplings become very tough and practically inedible, so you need to try to eat the entire portion at one time. So, put a frying pan on the fire, pour in vegetable oil and wait for it to get hot. We take a pack of dumplings out of the freezer and, without waiting for them to heat up and flow, we put them in the oil. They must be placed in the pan one by one and so that they do not touch each other, otherwise they may stick together. Chicken ravioli are ideal for this frying method - the beef or pork filling may not be cooked through.

While we cook the dumplings (covered with a lid, turning occasionally with a fork) for about 10 minutes for each side, let's make the sauce. You can serve simple soy, mayonnaise or sour cream - to your taste. Garlic alioli is best suited for this dish (mix finely chopped garlic with a small amount of dill, grind with a spoon of olive oil and add to mayonnaise).

Sometimes it happens that there are already boiled dumplings left from yesterday's dinner. Should they really be thrown out? Don't waste this stuff. Ravioli will find a second life in the form of cute and rosy pillows. How to fry dumplings in a frying pan in this case? Make sure there is no water left on the product, otherwise there will be a lot of splashing. Melt the butter. In Ukraine, they like to use cracklings for this, but you can successfully use sunflower or corn oil, as well as margarine or cooking oil.

Before putting it in the frying pan, you need to make sure that the fat is well calcined, otherwise the boiled pieces will stick tightly to the bottom. You should also try to ensure that the ravioli do not touch each other. Fry until a uniform golden color is achieved. Finally, turn the heat on the stove to low, sprinkle the dish with grated cheese, close the lid and wait another five minutes.

Now that you have already learned how to fry dumplings in a frying pan, you can experiment. For example, transfer the fried product into a pot, add stewed onions and mushrooms on top, pour in broth and sour cream so that the liquid covers all the ingredients. Set the oven to 200 C and bake for half an hour. As in the previous recipe, 5 minutes before complete readiness, perform a trick with the rosy cheese “lid”. Here's another simple morning recipe: add a little ketchup to the fried dumplings, roll them thoroughly in it and pour the omelette mixture over them. Place covered and cook until the omelette thickens. Serve this dish with dill.
