Dumplings with cottage cheese, steamed
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. You can cook cheese-filled dumplings (vareniki) with steam, either sweet with sugar or savory. Those who prefer unsweetened cheese vareniki can simply replace the sugar with 1-2 pinches of salt. Choose whichever filling you like best. I recommend serving the cooked dumplings with sour cream or jam. They are tender, soft, and very delicious! Both adults and children will surely appreciate this dish. The dish is ready to be served.

Seal the edges using any convenient method. Form all the dumplings in this way. The finished dumplings can be frozen for later use, or you can cook a portion right away by steaming. Any steamer or bamboo steamer will work. Lightly grease the container with vegetable oil and place the dumplings in a single layer.
