8/ place in your microwave and cook for 2 mins on full power for a 900 to 1000watt Or E microwave

9/ Turn all your dumplings over and cook for a further 2 mins on full power then your done

If you want to make a batch load

Use the whole 500g bag of plain couscous and 1 and a half pints of stock and 3 eggs and follow all the above adding in the order I’ve stated only difference is the amount of couscous and stock and eggs

For Pan cooked soup just throw all the ingredients in and cook until it’s all heated through and blend it up.

You don’t even need to cook it if you intend upon freezing it as it will heat up from frozen. Just throw it all straight into your blender then freeze until your ready to use and just microwave until cooked through no need to thaw either.
