- Remove the dough from the heat and allow it to cool down.
- Transfer the mixture onto a smooth, floured surface and knead gently, adding a little extra flour if the dough feels too sticky.
- Roll the dough into thin ropes and cut into small, uniform pieces.
- Drop the dumplings into a pot of boiling water seasoned with a drizzle of vegetable oil.
- Remove the dumplings as soon as they float to the surface after a few seconds of boiling.
- Finish by tossing them with your preferred sauce and serve immediately.
