   Boil a pot of water, preferably with plenty of water so the dumplings won't stick to the bottom; add two spoonfuls of salt to the water to prevent the dumplings from sticking together; once the water boils, add the dumplings and cook until they float to the surface. When the water boils again and starts to simmer, add some cold water and continue cooking for 5 minutes before taking them out to enjoy.
