I can't count the number of times I've had to dump the whole pot and start over! Another reason I've gotten in the habit of using the pre-made frozen dumpling 'strips'... just add more chopped green onions to the pot. ;-) Yes, lower temperature… you also have to watch and not ‘overwork’ the dough for your dumplings… which will make them sort of ‘slimey’… I can’t count the number of times I’ve had to dump the whole pot and start over!

My dumplings were sort of a mooshy mess, but I hear cooking them at an even lower temp might help. I didn't have any kitchen bouquet, so I added half of my veggies to the pot and cooked them until I had a fond on the bottom of my pot. Deglazing that added nice color and a little extra strength to the flavor. I stuck in a little roux to make up the thickness, and (though I've never had the recipe as it was meant to be) I didn't feel like the flavor was in any way lacking. Thumbs up! Delicious!
