Dumplings for Soup

The uncooked dumpling dough can be made up to 2 hours ahead and held at room temperature, covered directly with plastic wrap pressed against the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Do not refrigerate as this will make the dough too stiff to work with.

These dumplings are best served immediately after cooking. Leftover soup with dumplings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but note that the dumplings will absorb liquid and become softer. Reheat gently over low heat to avoid breaking them apart.
