Ingredients
Dough ingredients
- 2 ½ cups flour plus extra ¼ cup if needed
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup water add extra 1 tablespoon if needed
Soup ingredients
- 2 pounds (1kg) beef sliced into thin strips
- vegetable oil for frying
- 2 onions diced
- 12 cups water
- 1 bay leaf
- salt and pepper
- Vegeta (soup stock powder) optional
- 2 large potatoes diced
- fresh dill and parsley
Instructions
- Prepare Dough - Place the flour into a medium bowl. In a measuring jug, crack the eggs and add water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Using a fork, mix all together and pour into the bowl of flour.
- Knead Dough - mix the dough until it's combined into a ball. Dust your countertop with flour and proceed to knead the dough for approx 5 minutes. Adjust flour or water if needed. When the dough has a smooth, semi-hard consistency, cover with a bowl and allow to rest.
- Fry Beef - In a stock pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat and add the sliced beef. Fry until the water released from the beef evaporates. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and cook until beef starts to brown. Reduce heat to medium.
- Add Onions - mix onions to the beef and cook until the onions are golden brown.
- Make Soup - add 12 cups of water, bayleaf, ¼ teaspoon of pepper, and 1 tablespoon Vegeta Stock Powder. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add Potatoes - at the 15 minute point of simmering, add the potatoes to the soup, continue to simmer.
- Roll Dough - roll out the dough into a rectangular shape, to the thickness of a pizza base. Cut into thirds to make it easy to handle dough.
- Make Dumplings - Pinch pieces of dough of random shapes and place into boiling soup. When the dough floats to the top, it's ready. The dough can be sticky. To prevent dumplings from sticking, toss into soup one at a time as you pinch. Alternatively you can cut dough into squares.
- Season and Garnish - add chopped parsley and fresh dill to taste. Adjust salt, stir and enjoy!
