Do I need to knead minced meat for dumplings?

Now I'm kneading minced meat in a dumplings processor, and suddenly I thought: do I need to knead it for dumplings? After all, there is classically not even chopped (in a meat grinder) meat is used, but finely chopped.

do you need to knead it for dumplings?

Not to "threads", but a little something is needed, but how else? We mix any combination of ingredients.
Of course, if we make minced meat with our own hands, then already in a meat grinder the meat mixes well with onions (garlic), then when adding water (or other liquid) and salt / spices, it is still necessary to stir well, and so that the minced meat "grabs" with other components.
As usual, dumplings were made in Soviet times - at first they cooked minced meat, then they started the dough, and while you bring boards / trays for future dumplings to the kitchen, everything is already laid down and ready for rolling and sculpting.

As for cutting into cubes - this is not manti, after all, meat was always chopped in dumplings - in early times, with kitchen cuts in troughs or with knives on the table as small as possible. The cooking time for dumplings is short, what cubes are already there, it will not cook properly.

Not up to "threads", but a little something is needed,

I meant - whether it is necessary in the harvester or enough hands. I rarely make dumplings, and my neighbor has them very tasty, but with coarsely chopped minced meat. But I've already kneaded it in a combine, we'll see.

In Soviet times, a culinary network was well developed, there were always sold decent quality semi-finished products, including dumplings and yeast dough .. Most people bought ready-made dough from us.

developed culinary network

We had a number of cookery from the restaurants of the state "Russia".
And there was also "House kitchen"
For some reason I always read - home ...)))))

OlgaGeraand I've always said that. But they never bought anything there - my mother always cooked everything deliciously herself. Despite working at one and a half rate, always writing a dissertation without being in graduate school. I remember, it was already quite large.

Anna1957, Anna, well ... my mother also forbade me.
But I .... on the sly ... And sometimes they bought beet cutlets. It is from Russia.

Yes, my mother did the same thing herself, they never bought anything in cooking. And I don’t like semi-finished products, but sometimes my husband loves dumplings, I’m lazy to do it myself, then for freezing, I used to have a tray under the freezer, I just froze the dumplings in it, and now even though the freezer is big, but the place is to freeze dumplings forever lacks. Besides, I now make khanum instead of dumplings, thanks to KHP. All the same in composition, only simpler and faster.

how lovely!

Heroic woman) !!!

And where did you find the time to cook ?!

never bought anything in cooking

the cooking was delicious meat. Chilled. Goulash, azu, beef stroganoff, brass, langet, escalope. Everything is raw. Yes, a little more expensive, but ... meat!
This was not the case in the store.
Beautiful chickens taBaka))) They are small.
The same vinaigrette set could be bought separately. Do not forget that the same peas in the jar were a diphisit ...

And where only did I find time to cook

Mother worked for two rates in an ambulance ...

Me too, by 1.5 in my book and by 0.5 in a friend's book. True, without dissertations))) Now it's even scary to remember: you come from Sunday, sleep for a couple of hours - and from 15 to the next morning. The next day you sleep and prepare food for the next daily breakthrough ... They flooded again with their memories ...

Wow, you have a choice!
We mainly had baked goods, biscuits, cakes, dough, disgusting and raw peeled vegetables, carrot and beetroot cutlets, and so on, little things. Meat in our "hungry Volga region" happened only on the market and is very expensive. Yeast was also extremely deficient, so yeast dough was simply doomed to be popular, especially before the holidays.
And as tobacco-chickens are finally exclusively restaurant exotic. :-)

Crown, Galina, So I ... just listed a bit)))
Fish. Jellied, fried different. And cutlets.

restaurant exoticism.

Well yes. We have Russia nearby. A little further from Metropol. I liked it less there.
About baking - Nevsky pie !. The rest did not interest.

Anna1957, Anna,
I saw as a daughter. But this is life.




But in the Home kitchen there was still the first and second. Hot. In large thermoses.
