  4. Using your hands, stretch the pre-chilled, matured dumpling dough thinly and evenly, then tear off bite-sized pieces and drop them into the boiling broth.

Cooking tips 💡

  • For best results, prepare the dumpling dough ahead of time and let it rest in the refrigerator for proper maturation—this makes it much softer and easier to stretch thinly.
  • Even if the dumpling pieces are slightly large, keeping them thin ensures no raw flour taste and delivers a satisfying chewy texture.
