Typically when you think of dumplings you think of dough boiling in water. But oh no…..these dumplings are boiled in BUTTER!

Why add Mountain Dew or Sprite to the dumplings?

MOUNTAIN DEW: Adds moisture to steam the dumplings and cooks down into a syrup to make a sauce.

Alternative to Mountain Dew or Sprite

You can change out the soda but you don’t want to use a diet soda, as it won’t thicken the same and some artificial sweeteners will break down when heated. MAKING SIMPLE SYRUP: Here are the stats for soda (Sprite): 38g sugar (in a 12 ounce can) and a pH of 3.5 (average) You could try adding water, sugar (¼ cup = 38 grams) and strips of citrus zest and cooking it down. For the pH (if you care) you could add about ¾ teaspoon of baking soda. Boil until sugar is dissolved.
