Nokedli / Galuska / tojásos galuska @Szoky konyhája

Nokedli, also known as dumpling, is one of the most delicious and simplest garnishes you can prepare. Highly recommended to enjoy it with all type of stews and paprikash dishes. Also, it can be turned into a main course by frying them with eggs, usually accompanied by a Hungarian style green salad. This dish is called egg dumplings. Ingredients: 500 grams of all-purpose flour, 3 eggs salt water Using a wooden spoon, mix all the ingredients into a semi-soft consistency dough, soft enough to push it through the spaetzle maker, but not too runny to end up with a gooey or limp texture. Once cooked, you want to have a nice bite to them, not like dry pasta cooked to al dente, but more like having a pleasingly dense consistency with a bit of chewiness. Useful tip: When your eggs having pale yellow colored yolks, you can improve the color by adding half a teaspoon of turmeric to the dough to acquire a more appetizing looking yellow color for the finished dumplings. The easiest way is to mix the turmeric with the water before adding it to the flour. You don't need to mix the dough into a smooth paste, as soon as the flour is mixed in you can stop. Do not overwork it. Salt the cooking water. Add about two tablespoons of oil into it as well. To prevent the dough sticking to the spaetzle maker, wet it down before using it. Just before the water comes to a rolling boil, start to push the dough through the spaetzle maker. Let the water come to a full boil. After the dumplings rise to the surface, they are done. Strain and rinse them in cold water, changing the water two-three times. Unlike the Italian method, where it is not allowed to rinse the pasta, with this dish it is a must. After rinsing and draining, sprinkle about two tablespoons of flavorless oil on top and mix it thoroughly to prevent sticking. You can avoid doing this if the dumplings are eaten immediately after cooking, mixed with a stew or paprikash. To turn it into the main course, called egg dumplings. For each portion use two eggs mixed with two teaspoons of sour cream, a bit of salt, a touch of ground white pepper, a pinch of finely chopped parsley and a little sprinkle of oil in a frying pan to heat through dumplings before adding the prepared egg mixture.
