Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat together the egg, milk, salt, and flour until well combined.
- Pour the batter onto a plate and slice it with a knife to the edge of the plate.
- Let the sliced batter pieces fall into a kettle of boiling, salted water.
- Boil for 5 to 7 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through.
- Remove the dumplings from the water with a slotted spoon to drain excess water.
- Continue slicing off more dumplings until all the batter is used.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use all-purpose flour for a light texture. If you’re out of milk, water or a milk alternative can be used as substitutions. Make sure the water is at a rapid boil before adding the dumplings to prevent sticking. You can also add herbs or spices to the batter for additional flavor, such as garlic powder or parsley.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the noky dumplings with a drizzle of melted butter or a light sauce made from sautéed vegetables. They pair beautifully with Chinese Noodle Cookies - No Bake! for a delightful meal. Consider adding a side of sautéed greens or a fresh salad to balance the dish. Enjoy them as a main dish or a complement to soup.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently simmer in salted water for a few minutes until warmed through, or sauté in a pan with a bit of butter for a crispy texture. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them rubbery.
