Dumplings are cooked balls of dough. They are primarily based on flour, potatoes or bread, and can encompass meat, fish, greens, or goodies. They may be cooked with the aid of boiling, steaming, simmering, frying, or baking. They may have a filling, or there can be special components mixed into the dough. Dumplings may be sweet or spicy. They may be eaten with the aid of themselves, in soups or stews, with gravy, or in some different manner. While a few dumplings resemble strong water boiled doughs, which consist of gnocchi, others which incorporates wontons resemble meatballs with a skinny dough covering.
