Preparation steps
Step 1
To achieve the perfect dough, remove the milk and egg from the refrigerator in advance so they can reach room temperature. This will make the dough more pliable and flavorful. Sift the flour, thoroughly wash the cabbage, removing the outer wilted leaves, and peel the onion. Prepare a deep bowl and a whisk or mixer for kneading the dough, as well as a pot for boiling the dumplings and a frying pan for sautéing the filling.
Step 2
In a deep bowl, combine the milk, a chicken egg, a pinch of salt, and a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Whisk thoroughly or use a mixer until smooth.
Step 3
Gradually incorporate the sifted wheat flour. Initially, mix the thick dough with a spoon, then switch to kneading by hand. Continue kneading for at least 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Cover the prepared dough with plastic wrap or a clean towel and leave it at room temperature. Let it rest while you prepare the filling.
Step 5
Finely shred the cabbage. To soften it and release its juices, gently knead it with your hands or a pestle. Mince the onion.
Step 6
Heat two tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan. Sauté the chopped onion over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden brown.
Step 7
Add the shredded cabbage to the onions, season with salt, and mix thoroughly. Cook for another 10 minutes until the cabbage softens. Then, allow the filling to cool completely.
Step 8
Roll out the dough into a thin layer, approximately 3 mm thick. Using a cup or a special cutter, cut out circles about 7 cm in diameter.
Step 9
Place about one tablespoon of the cooled filling onto each dough circle. Carefully pinch the edges together, sealing them thoroughly to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
Step 10
Bring 2-3 liters of water to a boil in a large pot. Carefully lower the dumplings into the boiling water and stir gently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom. After the dumplings float to the surface, cook them for another 2-3 minutes until done.
Step 11
Carefully remove the cooked dumplings from the pot with a slotted spoon and arrange them on a plate. If desired, garnish with chili pepper, fresh parsley, and green peas. Serve with sour cream to enjoy this wonderful dish!
