About

I like this stew best when it’s made in advance and reheated; the dumplings absorb a lot of the sauce, get really soft, and break down a little. If you want the dumplings as intact as possible, serve them straight out of the oven on top of the wot, or add them to the sauce right before serving and cook just long enough to heat through.
