Step 6

Cover pot with lid and cook about 20 minutes on a low simmer so it doesn't burn.

Step 7

Don't lift lid in the 20 minutes that dumplings are cooking cause the steam cooks the dumplings. they will rise to the top and steam , but when you drop them into the boiling liquid they will drop to the bottom and then rise .
