Experienced housewives will spend no more than an hour on cooking dinner of dumplings with mushrooms, even if they have to use forest mushrooms for this. A novice cook might need a little more time, but he will also have a tasty dish, if he knows the features of the technology of its creation.
- You can use champignons, white mushrooms, mushrooms and others as a filling for dumplings with mushrooms. However, they must be prepared depending on which category they belong to. Some mushrooms need to be soaked in beforehand, and almost all forest mushrooms must be boiled until ready before putting them in the stuffing. Mushrooms and white mushrooms are good because they are lightly fried, after which you can already fill them with dumplings.
- For the filling, you can use not only fresh mushrooms, but also frozen and dried ones. If you decide to use a frozen product, you must first defrost the mushrooms and wait for excess liquid to drain from them. Dried mushrooms are required to fill with water and wait until they regain their size (swell).

However, too gentle dough can break during cooking, which also will not contribute to improving the taste and appearance of the finished dish. In order to make a good dough, you should know a few secrets. First, the flour must be sifted. Secondly, vegetable oil can be added to the dough for elasticity. Thirdly, the test should be allowed to "rest." If you take into account all three points, the dough you get soft, but elastic, dumplings retain their shape.
