Dumplings
- In a large bowl, place the corn flour and cheese. Add about 2 tablespoons of the broth that is cooking and prepare a dough that will detach from the sides of the bowl. The dough should not be too hard.
- Form 1-inch (2,5cm) balls and add them to the pot with the rest of the ingredients.
- The cooking of the vori vori is similar to that of gnocchi, i.e. as soon as the dumplings rise to the surface, they are ready.
