Can dumplings be made ahead?

Dumplings are awesome to make ahead since they can be a labor of love to make a bunch of them for a big crowd. You can make them up to 2 days in advance. Store them in single layers, separating each layer with parchment paper, then cook as directed in the recipe box!

How to store and reheat leftover dumplings?

Store any leftover dumplings in an airtight container in a single layer, separating each layer with parchment paper to prevent them sticking together.

To reheat, add the desired amount of dumplings to a shallow bowl or microwave sage dish. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave 2 minutes.

You can also reheat on the stovetop (my preferred method) using the same original method in the recipe details!

‍

Why serve dumplings with yogurt?

Dumplings exist in many different forms with both savory and sweet fillings all over the world! The Swedish Pitepalt is filled with meat and dipped in loganberry ham and butter. The famous ravioli is tossed in a cheesy tomato sauce. And (inspired in this recipe) the Turkish have there own version of dumplings that are often served with one of three sauces: a garlic yogurt, brown butter, and/or caramelized tomato sauce.

So, while it may not be traditional to the origin of dumplings, I think that's what makes cooking of fun at home... being able to try out new methods and ingredients to fit your cravings and personal tastebuds!

Of course, the yogurt here is optional, but why not give it a try? You never know what you will or will not like until you give a try 😉
