This is the same method for cooking certain buckwheat
noodles.  Judging from experience alone, I believe the
method allows the noodle to cook through, without
swelling so much.  It sounds reasonable to apply the
same method to a filled dumpling, as well, or any item
which requires the inside to be fully cooked without
over cooking the outside.  I'll have to look into this
further.
