You will find several methods suggested for boiling Chinese dumplings to perfection. To me the perfect dumpling is boiled until just cooked and no longer. Easy way to know when they are done is when they float up to the surface of the water.
Method for Boiling Jiaozi (Chinese Dumplings)
1.Preheat a large pot of water over medium heat.
2.Add 1 Tbsp. of oil to the water.
3.Add the dumplings as the water is just starting to come to a boil.
4.Stir for a few seconds to make sure the dumplings don't stick to each other or the bottom of the pot. 5.Cook approximately 10 minutes or until all the dumplings are floating on the surface.
6.Add one cup cold water (this is to prevent the dumplings from overheating and breaking apart).
7.Slowly bring the water back up to a boil (about 2 minutes).
8.Remove dumplings from the boiling water.
Chinese dumplings are best eaten hot so serve immediately with some Chinese black vinegar and chili oil or your favorite dipping sauce.
