Steamed dumplings with cherries

History of the dish

Steamed dumplings with cherries and their recipe is considered a Ukrainian national dish. Juicy, aromatic and surprisingly tasty - that's what could describe them. By themselves, dumplings are dough products stuffed with minced meat, cheese, berries, fruits or vegetables. Russian dumplings, Polish pierogi, sorcerers from Belarus, Uzbek manti, as well as Chinese counterparts and some dishes from other cuisines are also similar to this dish. The main differences are shapes and fillings.

Sometimes they are also distinguished by the method of preparation. As in the case of manti, steamed dumplings are not cooked just in water, and therefore they are dumplings and not quite they. And the dough for our dumplings with cherries is prepared with the addition of yeast, which does not happen when it comes to ordinary dumplings. That is why steamed dumplings with cherries or any other filling are very fluffy and incredibly airy. And you can be convinced of this right now, because we are happy to start cooking.
