Making Dumpling Conserve Better
When I make Chinese or Japanese style dumplings I often make too many and then store some for the next day
When I reheat them, they always go a bit strange and seem to taste worse then when they were fresh
Are there ways to store or re-heat the old dumplings to make them conserve better?
Best Answer
Dumplings should freeze very well. If you freeze the uncooked dumplings immediately and then cook longer the next day, you should have a similar result to your freshly assembled dumplings.
