How to make meat filling juicy and moist
Meat. Try to choose meat with a higher fat content. If you can't find it, you can easily make it yourself. To do this, buy several high-quality pieces of meat and grind them with a meat grinder.
Oil or butter. The best way to add the ingredient to the filling is to heat the oil or butter well and then pour it over the onions.
Liquid. It can be broth, water, or squeezed vegetable juice. You can choose the liquid to your liking and gradually add it to the meat. It usually absorbs a lot of water. But it is important not to overdo it. The meat should end up sticky, soft, and without traces of liquid.
The secret method
To make the dumplings super juicy, it is advised to cook a meat filling. Pork rinds or tendons are suitable for this purpose. They need to be stewed in water for about 1-2 hours, then filtered and allowed to thicken completely in the refrigerator. At the final stage, grind the stuffing and mix it with the main filling.
