Dumpling is the most mysterious dish in the world with ancient history and with their own recipe from each of the peoples who are still fighting for the right to call dumplings their invention. Many peoples have their own "dumplings": Chinese jiao-tzu, wontons and shui yao, Italian ravioli and tortellini, German maultaschen, Jewish kreplach, Caucasian manti, Georgian khinkali, Uzbek chuchvara - they are all relatives. Before deciding how to please yourself for dinner, let's remember the history of dumplings: from ancient Chinese and Russian, to modern Italian and Israeli.

Great Chinese Chiao Tzu

In China, where dumplings have been known for more than 2,000 years, this dish is considered festive and is prepared only on the eve of important and joyful events. On New Year a coin is hidden in one of the jiao-tzu dumplings, it is believed that whoever gets it will prosper all year.


In addition to traditional meat fillings, Chinese dumplings are stuffed with fish, shrimp, vegetables and mushrooms. It is customary to eat them with a sauce of soy sauce, vinegar and ground garlic or with ginger- soy sauce.

The best dumplings - from Tyumen

The second country that claims the honorary title of the homeland of dumplings is Russia. Historians suggest that dumplings were borrowed by the northern Russian population in the middle of the 2nd millennium AD from the ancestors of the Komi-Permyaks and Zyryans. The Russian word "dumpling" is a borrowing from the Komi language and means "bread ear": "pel" - ear and "nyan" - bread. The ancient Russian recipe for Siberian dumplings included the meat of an elk, bear, goose or forest bird. In addition to meat, Siberian dumplings could also contain berries - blueberries, lingonberries, cranberries, cloudberries. Sometimes they made fish dumplings. Cooked dumplings in salted beef or chicken broth, and served on the table without liquid and with sour cream.


Gyoza - concise and rich, like haiku

Japanese gyoza are crispy dumplings fried in oil or deep fried. Gyoza dough is made from the "heavy" flour commonly used to make udon noodles.


Gyoza is slightly sweet in taste, like other Japanese dishes. Traditionally prepared with minced pork and Beijing cabbage stuffing, as well as shrimp stuffing. Gyoza is served with a bowl of soy sauce or gyoza sauce of the same name.

Manti - Song of Asia and the East

Asian manti are quite large in size and are steamed in special "mantyshnitsa" pans. The filling usually consists of meat, onion and finely chopped pumpkin. Minced meat can be from beef, poultry, but the best minced meat is obtained from lamb. It is advisable to add fat tail fat to the minced meat, it is it that gives extraordinary juiciness and tenderness. Pumpkin can be replaced with other vegetables - dzhusai (a kind of onion), carrots, cabbage.


Minced meat for manti, if possible, is chopped by hand, the onion is cut as finely as possible.

Sicilian defense - ravioli

Ravioli are Italian square dumplings that came to medieval Europe along the Great Silk Road from China. They are prepared by frying in oil or boiled in water or broth.


Meat ravioli are not as common in Italy as vegetarian ones - stuffed with potatoes, mushrooms, cheese, spinach and other vegetables. Traditionally prepared ravioli served with tomato sauce, richly seasoned with grated Parmesan cheese and herbs. For dessert in Italy, you can taste ravioli with chocolate.

triune kreplach

The triangular kreplach symbolizes the three patriarchs of the Jewish people - Abraham, Yitzhak and Yaakov. Ashkenazi Jews prepare kreplach with meat filling on the eve of the Day of Judgment for a meal after the end of the fast, when you especially want to eat, and you need to quickly prepare a hearty dinner for the whole family.


Meat kreplach is served with chicken soup. Kreplach is also popular on holidays, for example, on Purim, kreplach is filled with dried fruits, and on Shavuot - with cheese.

Modern dumplings

In modern Israel, there is such a variety of varieties of dumplings that the need to sculpt them by hand at home has completely disappeared: “after all, that same homemade taste” has already been created by culinary specialists and packaged in convenient packages, it remains only to choose your favorite varieties.

Pelmeni "Sibirskiye" are prepared according to a traditional Siberian recipe: the dough is made from premium flour, milk and eggs, and the filling is from fresh veal and pork, onion, salt and natural spices. Siberian dumplings are served with sour cream, melted butter or gravy from hot sauce. This variety is especially popular with children.

The filling of the "Domashniye" dumplings consists of the best varieties of veal and pork meat with the addition of turkey fat, fried onions, dry broth, salt and natural spices.

Add finely chopped fresh greens, a spoonful of thick sour cream to the "Homemade" dumplings and you are guaranteed a good appetite. For lovers of "hot" sauce from half a teaspoon of spicy "Russian mustard" and 30 grams of 5% vinegar is suitable.

Pelmeni "Smolensky" are created according to the original recipe - their filling includes beef meat and turkey fat. Boiled "Smolensky" can be served with the broth in which they were cooked, as a soup or with butter, sour cream or mustard.

When preparing "Russian" dumplings, fresh high-quality veal and pork meat, fresh onions, salt and spices are used. Russian dumplings are loved by both adults and children for their natural and juicy taste. They can be served with the broth they were cooked in as a soup.

And also "Dumplings with mutton", "Dumplings with pargiet", "Dumplings with veal", which will not leave indifferent lovers of this delicacy.

And finally, "Children's" dumplings are specially designed to meet the taste needs of children. The dough is made from premium flour, milk and eggs, and the filling is made from tender veal meat with the addition of turkey and beef fat. They can be eaten with the broth in which they were cooked. They are also served with butter, sour cream or ketchup.


For decades, all these types of dumplings have been made by the Maadaney Mania factory in its own workshop for the production of dough products. The production process at the factory can be classified as a "closed" type: all stages take place within the company, starting with meat grown on their own farm, making dough and packing dumplings in colorful packaging.


In any family, there should always be dumplings in the freezer for "just in case" for fast food delicious family meal.

It is still not known for certain which people of which country invented such a versatile dish. But ask any Russian, and he will answer: “We invented it, in Siberia!”. In fact, back in the 14th century, dumplings filled the whole of Siberia, it was the main food of Siberian families. The husband goes hunting, brings meat (any meat was used in dumplings: both animals and birds, and sometimes they were even made with berries), and the whole family diligently sculpts dumplings. There were no freezers, of course. So, they will put up huge boards with frozen dumplings laid out on them on the street and boast to each other: who has stuck the most. Families were very united, children were instilled with love for work and reverence for food in cold and hungry times. This dish has become such a family dish not only in Siberia, but throughout Russia.

Remember how many times in Soviet films it is shown how the average family eats dumplings for lunch. Pelmeni and borsch, it would seem, are truly Russian dishes? However, no. Let's start with the origin of the word. If you delve into the Finno-Ugric dialects, then dumplings are “ears”. Probably, indeed, it seems, although someone sculpts how. True, the word in their dialect sounds a little different: "dumplings." Historians have every reason to believe that the first “dumplings” were invented by Finno-Ugric nomads as the easiest way to feed a large crowd of people with limited food supplies. Indeed, what could be simpler than meat, roughly speaking, wrapped in dough and cooked in it?

Some of the nations even had a legend similar in meaning to the legend about Noah's ark. There, a man also saved everyone else from inevitable death, only from starvation. He prepared a huge meatloaf, seasoned it with herbs and wrapped it in dough. It turned out a huge dumpling, which could feed thousands and millions of people. The fairy tale is a lie, but there is some truth in it: dumplings are a very satisfying and easy-to-cook dish, and most importantly, meat.

At the same time, there are no tricks: it's just a filling cooked in dough. That is why in China there are so-called jiao zi (by the way, many are inclined to believe that China is the birthplace of dumplings), because these “zi” of them come with anything: with fruits, and with berries, and with vegetables. The essence is preserved - a shell of dough. This is how ravioli appeared in Italy - in the 18th century, Marco Polo visited the Chinese and was completely delighted with their jiao tzu.

Now different peoples call dumplings differently, there are different technologies for their preparation, and each country considers itself the birthplace of dumplings. Let's try to remember a little: Georgian khinkali, Moldovan vertuta, Armenian boraks. The list can be listed and listed: unique recipes everywhere, herbs, spices, spices - mmm ...

Well, we in Russia will probably never stop considering this dish ours. So what, sorry? But every self-respecting housewife sculpts dumplings herself, despite the fact that refrigerators in supermarkets are literally littered with semi-finished products of unknown quality. Do-it-yourself and tastier, and more reliable, and healthier, right?

Today HELLO.RU will tell you about a dish that Russian men love almost more than borscht - the hero of one of our previous posts. Why were pelmeni called "dumplings" before, they were served without a plate and eaten with hands? Which neighboring countries should we thank for the "primordially Russian" dish? The answers to these and other questions are in our article.

Pelmeni received the greatest popularity in Russia in early XIX century. At least, it was at the dawn of this century that historians and culinary experts first began to mention this dish in their writings as a traditional treat for the townspeople.

It is believed that residents of neighboring countries shared the recipe for dumplings with us, and the “infusion” of gastronomic culture was gradual and chaotic. In the northern regions, dumplings appeared thanks to the Finno-Ugric tribes. Asian peoples who actively traded with Russia at the turn of the 12th-14th centuries brought their traditions. In the European and southern parts of Russia, the prototype of dumplings was "ushki", which the Don Cossacks liked to treat themselves to.

The most common version is that Russian word"dumpling" comes from the word "pelnyan" ("bread ear"), later it was transformed into "dumplings", and then into "dumplings". Sources differ when specifying the specific language from which this word came to Russian. Komi, Udmurt, Mansi and Finnish are named as possible options.

Small pies or, as they were once called, ears, gained such high popularity in Siberia because of their practicality. Going on a hike or hunting, men took meat wrapped in dough with them and could store it in travel bags for many months - the dish did not lose its taste at all during prolonged freezing.

Usually dumplings are boiled in water and then laid out directly on a dirty table; but they are taken simply with their hands, very rarely with wooden forks,

This is how he described the process of cooking and eating dumplings member of the Russian Geographical Society V.V. Grigoriev in 1848.

Now almost every country has its own version of this hot dish: in Italian cuisine it is ravioli, in Jewish cuisine - kreplach, in Caucasian cuisine - manti and khinkali, in Asian cuisine - jiaozi and baozi or, as they are most often called in Europe, dim sums. In Russia, to this day, home-made Siberian dumplings are considered to be a model of dumplings - perhaps only in Siberia has a century-old tradition of their preparation still been preserved.

The filling of traditional Russian dumplings is a mixture of three types of minced meat, which must be cooked in strictly defined proportions: for each kilogram of meat there should be 450 grams of beef, 350 grams of lamb and 200 grams of pork. If all three components are chosen and mixed correctly, it is believed that no additional flavorings other than salt and pepper are required. Also, to this day, according to the recipes of their ancestors, many Siberians add fresh cabbage and grated radish to dumplings.


Now there are a large number of ways to cook dumplings. Manufacturers use special machines for the purpose of wholesale trade; But still, the taste of hand-made dumplings cannot be compared with anything - although this is a laborious process, the result will more than pay for itself.

Juicy fragrant dumplings are one of the most popular dishes of Russian cuisine. The love of Russians for this culinary masterpiece is so great that songs are dedicated to its glory, monuments are erected and mass celebrations are organized. But who really invented dumplings and from whose national cuisine were they adopted?

The history of the appearance of dumplings

The best dumplings are prepared in Russia - a fact known to many that does not require confirmation. But regarding the question of whether dumplings are a primordially Russian dish or not, opinions differ.

Most sources claim that the popular dish in the form of ground or minced meat wrapped in dough came to Russian cuisine from the Finno-Ugric districts. Translated from Finnish and Udmurd, the name "dumpling" sounds like "pel + nyan", which means "bread + ear". The same opinion is shared by our contemporaries - residents of Udmurtia, annually celebrating a holiday called "world dumpling day".

Documentary researcher V.V. Pokhlebkin emphasizes in his works that dumplings appeared in Russian cuisine at the turn of the 14th-15th centuries. As confirmation of this, he presents documents with a list of the names of the inhabitants of the Urals of that time, whose names are derived from the word "dumpling". For the peoples of the northern regions, which are characterized by severe cold, this dish was beneficial in the sense that it could be frozen. Dough-wrapped meat, when frozen, gave off almost no flavor that would be tempting to nearby carnivores. In addition, it could be stored for up to several months.

At the dawn of history, this meat dish cooked exclusively for the holidays, serving on the table as the main treat. At the same time, a tradition was born to supplement the dish with a “happy dumpling”, which prophesied changes to its owner in the near future. If pepper comes across as a filling - this is for passionate love, green onions - for fun, a piece of dough - fortunately, a coin - for profit.

Today it is a favorite treat in the daily cuisine of many peoples. It is noteworthy that every housewife has her own secret in preparing this meat delicacy. Some use several types of meat as a filling, others use fragrant herbs, others manage to roll out an incredibly thin translucent dough that acts as a shell.

Today, dishes that, in appearance and composition, resemble dumplings familiar to us, are present in many national cuisines:

In China, these are wontons and baozi. They are prepared by boiling or steaming. There are round or triangular shapes in the form of a closed cake or a round jug. The filling is pork, chicken or shrimp, generously seasoned with pepper, garlic or ginger.

In Korea, "mandu". Korean "mandu" can be made in the form of a tiny thimble or a large pomegranate. Instead of a pastry shell, they often use fish skins or vegetable skins. The filler is pheasant meat or fish.

The Singaporean relatives of dumplings, referred to as "dumplings", are shaped like fish or boats. To give the original shape, craftswomen use bamboo sticks. The filling is meat, vegetables and seafood.

The Jewish analogue of Siberian dumplings, known as “kreplach”, differs only in that pork never acts as a filling. But in the Italian miniature "tortellini" as a filling, you can find both the meat we are used to, and cheese, or assorted vegetables. Only Tatar “yufakh ash” and Turkish dumplings can compete with them in size. In the dishes of these national cuisines, each dumpling is no larger than a marigold. So in one tablespoon can easily fit up to 6-7 "bread ears".

In Azerbaijani cuisine, a recognizable meat treat is called “gyurza”. It is due to the fact that freshly prepared bags of dough, when bitten, can emit a sound emitted through a previously made hole, reminiscent of the hiss of a snake.

Caucasian dumplings, referred to as "khinkali", are famous for their very thin dough and incredibly juicy meat. This dish is eaten freshly cooked by hand. The sizes of products, depending on the region, can vary from small envelopes to bags with a diameter of a soup plate. The main "highlight" is to carefully bite into a thin envelope of dough and have time to drink the fragrant broth pouring out of it, soaking the meat.

You can list options for analogues of a popular dish indefinitely. These are German maultashens, and Mongolian buzes, and Dagestan kurze, and Tibetan momo ... They are all different in shape and size. They are united by only one thing - excellent taste qualities of culinary masterpieces that do not leave indifferent even sophisticated gourmets.

Chuchvara is a dish of Uzbek cuisine in the form of boiled products made from unleavened dough stuffed with meat. Unlike dumplings, chuchvara is smaller in size. Another difference is that minced pork is never used for the filling of this dish. The filling is considered ideal when the meat and onions are finely chopped with a knife, and not passed through a meat grinder.

The dough is usually rolled out in one large sheet and cut into squares. Then a lump of meat filling is placed on each of them and the dough is folded into an envelope, bending the corners towards the center. Chuchvara is almost always served in a seasoned broth.
