Using a fork, break the egg yolk and start incorporating with the flour and potatoes. Knead with your hand until it turns into dough, about 2-3 minutes. Cover and chill in the fridge until ready to use.

   Step 4: Take the dough out from the fridge. Take a chunk off the dough and slightly flatten it with your hand. Tear bite-size pieces off from the chunk and drop them into the stock. The dumpling doesn't have to be uniform in shapes and sizes. Try to work fast. When they are done, they will float to the top.
