Chef's Notes
Do not skip the three-hour fermentation window, or your dumplings will lack their signature airy soul and airy rise.
Pro Tip
Keep your fingers damp with cold water when pinching the sticky batter to ensure it releases cleanly into the hot oil without gluing to your hands.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping massive, uneven globs of batter into the oil will result in giant dough-bombs with raw centers and burnt outsides, bringing instant sorrow to the kitchen.

The Culinary Science
Beating the batter in one continuous direction builds a sturdy gluten matrix that traps carbon dioxide released by the fermenting curd and baking soda.
