How long to fry dumplings and how to do it correctly
Dumplings are very high in calories, and fried ones are doubly high. Therefore, a hearty and appetizing dish should not be made into a daily dinner; save it for a special occasion. To reduce the calorie content of a fried product, first place it on a paper napkin: it will absorb excess oil.
If you are making frozen dumplings, let them thaw a little. To do this, lay them out on the table for a quarter of an hour. Then squeeze each with your hand: this way the product will be better fried.
The first option will be crispy, the second - soft. Which is better is a matter of taste.
Experienced chefs recommend frying the product for a quarter of an hour. Throw it into a hot frying pan with well-heated oil. Do not cover with a lid, set the heat to medium. Readiness can be easily determined by the appearance of a golden brown crust.
How to fry dumplings
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.
Cover the pan with a lid and turn up the heat. Wait until the liquid evaporates and do not turn off the gas for another 2-3 minutes so that the dumplings dry out and become crusty.
How to fry dumplings after cooking? To begin, boil the semi-finished product for 10-15 minutes with salt and spices. Then heat a frying pan and put a piece of butter on it. When it melts, add dumplings. Fry them, stirring constantly, until golden brown.
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.
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 cook 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 out of the pack. 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. 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 take paper towels and wipe up any grease spills from the 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!)
