How to Store Leftovers

Store leftovers in the fridge.

  • Let everything cool completely.
  • Transfer to an airtight container.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.

You can store dumplings and broth together. Separating them seems like a good idea, but the dumplings dry out when stored individually.

Dumplings may soften after freezing, but they can still be frozen and eaten later for more extended storage.

  • Cool completely
  • Spoon into freezer-safe containers or zip-top bags. Leave a little space for expansion.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months.

How to Reheat Leftovers

For the best texture, reheat on the stovetop.

  • Add leftovers to a saucepan.
  • Heat on low to medium-low.
  • Stir gently and often.
  • Add a splash of chicken broth, milk, or water if the broth looks too thick.
  • Heat until warmed through.

Slow and steady keeps the dumplings tender.

Reheating with the Microwave (quick and easy)

  • Place in a microwave-safe bowl.
  • Add a little liquid.
  • Cover Loosely.
  • Heat in 1-minute intervals, stirring between each interval.
  • Stop when hot, before boiling.

Reheat from Frozen

  • Thaw overnight in the fridge when possible.
  • Reheat using the stovetop method for best results.
  • Add Extra liquid as needed since freezing thickens everything.

Common Mistakes to Skip

  • High heat can make the dumplings chewy rather than soft.
  • No added liquid, thick, pasty broth.
  • Overstirring can cause the dumplings to break apart.
