How else can you cook dumplings? Through out history from the dawn of time
dumplings have been boiled...maybe not always in just plain water but a
boiling liquid is required (and not oil). Simmered in with stewing chicken
counts as boiling. If you bake them they're called biscuits.

As a child my favorite lunch was a plate of boiled dumplings with fried
bread cubes and onions.
