The dumplings can cook longer than the suggested times without issues, but agitating them with an aggressive simmer will make them fall apart. Keep the heat low and keep your pot covered so that they steam. An aggressive simmer or boiling will break them apart. The most important tip: Keep the pot at a gentle simmer when cooking the dumplings. The dumplings need to steam, so cover the pot with its lid.If the dumplings fully cover your soup, use a spoon to make a small hole in the middle to allow steam and some of the simmering bubbles to release.Depending on your pot shape, you might even have a few dumplings on top of each other.
