Li ho comprati qualche settimana fa durante la settimana tedesca della Lidl perché non avevo mai mangiato questo tipo di ravioli. Ho intenzione di mangiarli con un po’ di Gulasch più tardi e ho notato che le istruzioni ti dicono di friggerli.
È questo l’unico modo? Sto cercando di evitare di usare così tanto olio. Si possono scaldare in acqua calda invece degli altri gnocchi di patate?
Grazie!

I steam them 😉

Put them in lightly salted hot water on till they swim on the surface.
Frying them in a bit of butter in a pan is enough. They don’t need to be deep fried.
They’re generally fried.
If you heat them in water, they probably won’t turn poisonous though. You do you.
I’m a bit surprised that they call them “dumplings”. They’re considered to be a kind of pasta, hence the “Nudeln” in the name (English “noodles” is a direct loan from German). There’s potato in them, so in that sense they’re similar to Italian gnocchi.
But then again, I could never quite pin the English term “dumpling” down, as it’s used for all sorts of different foods that don’t belong in a single category for me.
You can steam or boil them, too, but they are much better when fried, in my opinion. They become a bit mushy when boiled, while the frying gives them a crispy outside and a fluffy inside. I suppose the mushiness won’t be too terrible when eating them with Gulasch, but I would still recommend “splurging” this once and frying them.
Classic way here in the south west is with Sauerkraut in a pan. I like to fry them in a pan until they get slightly brown and put some eggs to it. Easy to Cook if i dont really want to cook.
You can cook them in water, but I would heat them in a pan with a little bit of butter or oil. Pan doesn’t have to be as hot as with a Schnitzel. You really need to try it out a bit to find out how you like it, but I would suggest you treat them like you would imagine to cook or to fry noodles. So either cook them in hot water for about 10 minutes or fry them in the pan for as long as you think it it takes for them to get hot throughout but not get brown / burnt. I usually have them in the pan for about 5 minutes plus a bit, at not full heat. But they really can be prepared quiet differently by different persons with different preferences. There are also people who keep them in a wok-like pan at moderate heat for a longer time and add vegetables.
They will get dark brown and taste dry if you got them too hot for too long.
Just a heads up, frying doesn’t mean deep fry in this case. A little bit of butter in a pan and you’re good to go.
You can cook them in simmering water for sure (they’re pretty much gnocchi in a different shape), but usually they’re fried in butter. Try it out: the worst that can happen is that they don’t taste very nice.
Fry them in a pan with some butter or oil until they are evenly brown, and the sound they make when tossing changed.
You have to have an Alpenfest as well. /s
You can also turn them into a dessert that’s quite popular in Austria.
Boil them in lightly salted water for about 10 minutes.
Drain the water and then add some butter, sugar and crushed poppy seeds – you can also add a tablespoon of rum if you like.
You aren’t supposed to deep fry them lol.
Just enough oil/fat/butter as lubcrucation so they don’t stick to the pan is the kind of frying meant here.
You can even fry them in some fat from whatever meat you put into your Gulasch.
They will taste best if fried with a tiny bit of butter, but if you don’t want to fry them: they are noodles after all: you can do anything to them, that you can do to noodles/dumblimgs:
Steam them, bake them, microwave them, even heat them in water (though they‘ll be wet afterwards and won’t take on much sauce that way).
It really doesn’t matter how you heat them up.
You can even grill them.
But frying is the best tasting option because you can easily brown the surface that way, which very much intensifies the taste.
And again: you do not need any dietary relevant amount of some oil to fry them.
They aren’t supposed to be dripping oil.
And a tea spoon of oil/fat for that amount of schupfnudeln means the calories of your prepared dish go up by less than a percent.
There’s no reasonable reason to refuse to use pan frying with small amounts of oils. If that 1% of calories is relevant, you simply decrease the portion size.
Of the three macro nutrients, fats are the safest to consume in excess, because only the calories they provide matter.
Both carbohydrates and protein cause issues outside of their caloric density.
So if you want to worry about a macronutrient: worry about easily digestible carbohydrates
Just that you are warned, they lie very heavy in the stomach. Dont know if there is a better phrase to say that in english. The ones in packages are ok but they are very delicious when made fresh.
I prefer them golden fried in butter and a pinch of salt.
They also go very well with not sweeted apple puree.
You can fry them in about a teaspoon of butter in a pan. Or heat them in the microwave. Bake them into a casserole or heat them in the oven.
If the instructions on the bag say something about a pan or “braten” it’s usually in a small bit of fat. If they say “frittieren” oder “Fritteuse” oder “Frittiertopf”, it’s deep-fry.
Don’t deep fry them! Fry them in a frying pan until they look like this:

In most cases a tiny bit of butter is enough, if any at all, as they are usually a bit oily already to prevent sticking in the packaging
Wow, so many replies. Thanks very much.
I’ve given them a light butter fry to harden them then. Can’t wait for dinner!
In the oven with a LITTLE! oil and if you want to, some veggies and you’ll be golden, or just go low and slow in the pan or also just put them in boiling water for a few minutes… With cooking, don’t think too much and fuck the “instructions” you do you. The more mistakes you make the better your food will become imo. The sooner you start and the more you do it the less “bad” tasting food you have to eat 😁.
