The recipe won't take much time. Usually, we boil or fry dumplings and consider them an everyday dish. But they can be prepared in such a way that you can serve them even at a small celebration. Sounds interesting? If you have small clay pots, you can surprise your family with a delicious and unusual dish—dumplings baked in the oven.

I have large pots, so I transfer the dumplings from the pot to a plate. They turned out like this—the melted cheese goes perfectly with the sauce. The taste is drastically different from dumplings boiled on the stove. Delicious!
