    1                    Chicken
    1       t            Garlic salt
    5       c            Flour
    3       lg           Eggs
      1/2   ts           Baking powder
      1/2   ts           Salt
    1       t            Pepper
 
   Cook hen in pressure cooker with lots of salt and MSG,
   plus 1 teaspoon garlic salt.  (If you don't use MSG,
   just omit it instead of lecturing me, okay?)  Cover
   chicken with water and close.  Place 15-lb weight on
   top and cook over medium-high heat.  When the weight
   starts “popping” 2 to 3 times a minute, cook 15
   minutes. Cool the chicken and de-bone.
   
   Mix flour, salt, 1/2 teaspoon MSG and a little less
   than 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.  Blend eggs with 1
   1/4 Cup *cool* chicken stock from pot (1/3 of it
   should be fat).  Stir into flour a little at a time.
   On flour-covered board, knead dough and roll it out
   till thinner than a nickel.  Cut dumplings (about 2
   inches wide by 10 inches, or however long possible).
   Stack well-floured dumplings onto plate.
   
   In large pot, bring the rest of the stock to a boil
   over medium-high heat. Add the chunks of chicken
   alternately with the dumplings; quickly pushing them
   below the surface of the liquid as you add them. DON'T
   FOLD THE DUMPLINGS!
   
   Keep mixture boiling at all times.  Lower heat; cover
   and cook for 12-15 minutes.  Don't lift the lid for
   the first 10 minutes.
   
   Add 1 teaspoon pepper to broth --> might need to add
   additional stock during the cooking process.
