Chayhana Vostok shows us how to make the prettiest dumplings you've ever seen for any special occasion- especially when you want to impress someone. They look like roses, but inside each is a combination of meat, potatoes, and onions. The dough is the tricky part. The red sliver of it is made with fresh beet juice. The video of the construction is mesmerizing, and conveys what could never be described in text only. You can turn on the captions to get an English translation, but she also posted the ingredients list at YouTube.Note that the dumplings must be steamed for 30 minutes. You want the meat to be cooked.
