Modern life is a series of changing events,a constant race, the goal of which is to earn as much money as possible, to “make” a name for oneself, to reach professional heights. And if earlier such thoughts and actions were inherent only to men, today the representatives of the fair half have joined the game. A woman no longer only plays the role of the keeper of comfort and home, but also successfully, harmoniously goes through life as a support for her husband, an employee in one company or another, a daughter for her parents and a mother for her children. And all this requires time and effort. Therefore, it is not surprising that ladies, coming home, want only one thing - to get to bed as soon as possible. However, here one of the main questions arises: what to feed the family? It is clear that getting carried away with delicacies and preparing original dishes means spending a lot of hours near the stove. In this case, it is better to resort to “quick” cooking. Here the recipe for golden fried dumplings will come to the rescue. It is not at all necessary to mold them yourself - it is enough to buy frozen products in the supermarket. Then all that remains is to put them in a frying pan, make a flavorful sauce and voila, dinner is on the table.
Simple dumplings for every day
This recipe is suitable for everyone, including women,who have no time to prepare original dishes, and for female students busy with their studies, and even for men - for bachelors who are far from cooking. We will tell you how to cook fried dumplings quickly and without much financial expense. In addition, in this case, you do not even have to knead the dough - just buy frozen ravioli, khinkali or other dumplings. Everything is very simple and, nevertheless, delicious. We suggest you see this in practice. Ingredients (for one serving):
- 25 pieces of any frozen dumplings
- water - half glass
- black pepper (meaning ground)
- two tablespoons of olive oil
- salt - to taste
- ground paprika - if desired
For the sauce:
- 20 grams of delicious mayonnaise
- one garlic clove
- 15 grams of parsley
Method of preparation:First, take the dumplings out of the freezer and let them thaw a little, then put them in a hot saucepan with olive oil and fry over medium heat. To taste, add a couple of pinches of table salt and a mixture of freshly ground black pepper and paprika. When the products acquire a beautiful brown-golden hue, turn them over with a spatula and continue cooking. After a few minutes, pour boiled (not hot, but cooled) water into the dish, cover with a lid and keep on the stove until the liquid has completely evaporated. As soon as you do, turn off the burner and, while the product cools, work on the sauce. Any dressing will do for such a dish, for example, tomato, sour cream, based on meat broth with spices, and so on. We offer the simplest recipe: pour mayonnaise into a bowl, sprinkle it with finely chopped parsley or dill, then add a clove of garlic, peeled and crushed with a special press. Mix the ingredients with a spoon. Now arrange the ruddy dumplings on portioned plates, garnish with sauce and invite everyone to the table. Of course, each recipe is individual, but it is not always possible and necessary to follow the instructions completely. After all, force majeure happens, so sometimes it is not a sin to allow yourself a few liberties. So, instead of olive oil, fragrant sunflower oil is quite suitable, and the traditional set - black pepper and paprika - can be replaced by other seasonings. Basil, cilantro, marjoram, which are used both dried and fresh, give the dish a wonderful aroma and unforgettable taste. And if you don’t have the slightest desire to conjure up a sauce, serve the dumplings with ketchup, mayonnaise or a special salad dressing.

Pelmeni "Homemade", fried in a frying pan
Stop being lazy and startimprove your culinary skills. If the previous dishes were very easy to prepare, then you will have to work a little harder on this one. Do you want to learn how to make dumplings yourself? No problem, the following recipe will help you with this. As you probably already understood, the finished products are not boiled, but fried in a large amount of vegetable oil, that is, in deep fat. The dish turns out very tasty, ruddy and crispy. Ingredients: For the dough:
- a small spoon of table salt
- 180 milliliters of water
- half a kilo of sifted flour
- one egg
- slightly less than ½ cup of vegetable oil
For the meat filling:
- 500 grams of beef
- salt
- 400 grams of onions
- black freshly ground pepper - a few pinch
For the sauce:
- 15 grams of spicy ketchup
- same amount of mayonnaise
- 10 grams of dill
Method of preparation:If you decide to serve fried dumplings to your child, it is not recommended to use store-bought ones. After all, it is unknown what kind of meat the manufacturer used to make the filling, how long the product was stored in the refrigerated compartments of the supermarket, and so on. All this can result in an intestinal disorder for the baby. Agree, it is better to spend a few extra minutes at the stove than to scold yourself for your negligent attitude later. Moreover, the recipe that is offered is not at all complicated. So, first you need to knead the dough. To make it more tender, sift white flour into a deep bowl with a sieve and make a depression in the middle. Now dissolve salt in warm water and add a pre-beaten egg here. Mix the ingredients with a spoon until they turn into a homogeneous liquid. Pour it into the flour and, carefully working with a whisk from the bottom up, knead a dense mass. To get rid of lumps, mix the dough well with your hands a few more times. Then put it aside for a while to rise. You have 30 to 40 minutes to make the mince. This recipe calls for beef, but chicken or lamb will do just fine. It's up to you: men like heartier dishes, while women, on the contrary, prefer light and lean ones. Chop the meat into large pieces and mince it with a meat grinder. Then peel the onion, cut it into pieces and pass it through a kitchen appliance or food processor together with the beef again. In this case, the filling will be more tender, juicy and without lumps. Salt it to your taste, add two pinches of black pepper and knead it thoroughly with your hands. Now is the time to make the dumplings, so sprinkle the work surface with flour and roll out the dough on it into a not too thick layer (about one millimeter in height). The products can be made in any shape. The traditional one is considered to be round, which is squeezed out with a regular faceted glass. We suggest doing it differently: cut the dough with a knife into squares with a side no more than five centimeters. Put a heaping teaspoon of ground beef in the middle of each, fold the products in half and carefully connect the corners, pressing them with your fingers as tightly as possible. If this were a regular recipe, then at this stage you would have to put the dumplings in boiling water. But we are preparing a completely different dish. Therefore, heat the frying pan well, pour in vegetable oil and wait until it begins to bubble slightly. Then fry the products in small portions until a golden hue appears. All that remains is to make the sauce: combine mayonnaise and ketchup in a bowl, seasoning the ingredients with chopped dill. There are many dressings and options for serving this dish. So, you can decorate it with yogurt or sour cream, and some housewives prefer to pour hot meat broth over the fried dumplings.

- 250 grams of pork
- beef - 250 grams (if desired, you can replace it with lamb)
- Ground pepper (just two small pinches)
- three medium bulbs
- ground ginger - optional
- salt
Method of preparation:Sift flour onto a well-washed table, then make a funnel in it. Mix water and salt in a separate bowl, break an egg here and add vegetable oil. Mix the ingredients and pour the liquid onto the improvised hill. Start kneading the dough carefully, gradually collecting flour from the edges to the middle until you get a dense, homogeneous mass. It should not stick to the table or your hands under any circumstances - this is a sure sign that the dough is too liquid. In this case, you need to add a little more wheat product. Now it's time to get to the filling. This recipe includes two types of meat: beef and pork. The former can be replaced with lamb, which your man will surely love. Chop the products into large pieces and grind them in a meat grinder (if you have a food processor, use it). Then mince them a second time in exactly the same way, only adding sliced onions. Salt and pepper the minced meat to your taste, then knead it well with your hands. Roll the dough with a rolling pin into a thin flat cake. Then, placing a glass or a not very wide cup with the neck down on it, cut out circles. Fill each with minced meat and pinch the edges. Keep in mind that you need to leave a small hole on one side - then the products will fry better, and the meat will not be raw. Heat the frying pan and grease it with oil, then put the dumplings in (the seam should be facing up). Make the fire low, otherwise the dish will burn. As soon as it is well browned, pour a little water into the dish and simmer the dumplings under a closed lid for five to six minutes. Serve the dish with sour cream or cream.
