Cabbage dumplings can be made with any cabbage: fresh, pickled, and even Chinese cabbage. You can also mix different types of cabbage. For example, you can add half fresh and half pickled. You will get a very tasty filling, where fresh cabbage slightly softens the taste of pickled cabbage. You can also add carrots, eggs, or meat to the filling of cabbage dumplings. We tell you how to make dumplings quickly and easily in this step-by-step recipe.

How to cook Dumplings with cabbage

Step 1

Prepare the dough. In a bowl, thoroughly mix water, eggs and salt until smooth, beating them with a fork for about 4-5 minutes. Start adding flour, stirring the dough with each new portion: first with a spoon, and when it begins to thicken - with your hand. The dough must be thoroughly kneaded, grabbing from the edges to the center. After that, cover it with a towel and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. During this time, it will become elastic and pliable.

Step 2

While the dough is in the refrigerator, prepare the filling. Shred the cabbage, finely chop the onion, grate the carrot on a coarse grater. Fry the onion over medium heat until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the carrots, fry for another 2-3 minutes. Put the cabbage in the pan, season with bay leaf and spices. Fry the vegetables until the cabbage is soft. The time depends on the variety. Usually about 15-20 minutes. At the end, add a clove of garlic, grated on a fine grater. Remove the filling from the heat and cool.

Step 3

Start making the dumplings. Sprinkle a little flour on the table, take the dough out of the fridge, roll it out with a rolling pin into a layer about 1 mm thick. Take a glass or cup and cut small circles. Roll the rest of the dough into a "sausage", cut into small pieces and roll out the circles by hand. Put the filling in the center of each circle and pinch the edges. The seam should be tight enough so that the dumpling does not fall apart.

Step 4

Boil the dumplings. Throw them into the water and stir with a slotted spoon so that they do not stick to the bottom. After about 2 minutes, as soon as the dumplings float to the surface, take them out and serve.

Step 5

The finished dish can be served with sour cream. Also try frying some onions in a frying pan, mixing the frying with vegetable oil and pouring over the dumplings, sprinkling chopped green onions on top.
