Dumplings were created as food of Siberian hunters and nomads. At least they had their favorite food in the winter. And they were good because they did not require any cooking appliances other than the pot. Nomads generally could cook them right in the helmet. With the introduction of the microwave into our lives, many dishes developed by culinary specialists during the long centuries of the development of the rational person had to be either specially adapted or simply excluded from cookbooks for microwave ovens. Many seemingly simple things, for example, a soft-boiled egg, were not in demand by new technology. You can still cook some scrambled eggs, the dumplings in the microwave even turn out no worse than in the helmet of the ancient nomad. The problems of how to cook dumplings in the microwave simply do not exist.
We take any dishes for microwave ovens, it is better that they have higher sides. Because with intense boiling, the water will pour to the bottom of the microwave, which is completely undesirable. In any case, under the cup in which we will cook dumplings, you need to put a plate or dish to collect the spilled water.
Let's get back to our dumplings. If you purchased them in a store, they will be frozen, it is not possible to defrost them, because they will stick together in an ugly lump. Pour boiling water into the cup and lay the dumplings, stir so that they do not stick together in the cup. You can salt water, the boiling point will decrease, and it will be possible to cook dumplings at a lower power level. Look, just do not salt the dumplings! Nowhere do they turn out so delicious as in a microwave. Cook dumplings for at least 10-15 minutes. If after this time they become damp - it's okay, put them back in the oven and give another five minutes on top. Another tip, water may not completely cover the dumplings, they will still be cooked - this is the powerful mysterious power of the microwave oven. It would be time to talk about microwave rays, or rather, high-frequency waves, and how electromagnetic radiation is converted into thermal energy, but this is a topic for another article. In short, it can be said that the vibrations of polar molecules, which are affected by radiation, possibly destroy the internal structure of matter. But, for that matter, thermal radiation also violates the structure. If it remained the same, then there would be no sense in the heat treatment of food. These two types of radiation act differently, which can even be determined by taste. Dishes cooked on the stove differ markedly from those cooked in a microwave oven. And the statement is far from always a compliment - it’s cooked like in a microwave. Cooking dumplings, from whatever side you look, in a microwave oven you can, and they have excellent taste.

After that, sprinkle the dumplings with the remaining cheese and butter and send to the oven for three minutes. Now the dumplings are ready, it remains to sprinkle them with chopped herbs.
