Most of the rice dumplings are cooked and eaten in a pot. The cooked rice dumplings are sweet and delicious. They taste soft and waxy and taste very good. They are a popular food and many people know how to cook them. Make rice dumplings and eat them at home. There are some techniques for cooking rice dumplings. During the cooking process, it is generally necessary to cover the rice dumplings with a lid. 1. When cooking rice dumplings, should you cover or open the lid?
It is recommended to cover the rice dumplings with the lid.
Zongzi with lids are better than those without lids. Since the pot is not covered, the steam in the pot will disperse and take away the heat, which will make the rice dumplings cook longer. Keeping the lid on the pot prevents steam from escaping easily and makes cooking easier.
Zongzi cooked in a pot with cold water are better than those cooked in hot water. In a cold water pot, the temperatures of the rice dumplings and the water in the pot rise at the same time, and both are always at the same temperature. The fragrance of anemone leaves also increases as the temperature rises. The rise of glutinous rice slowly penetrates into the glutinous rice, bringing the aroma of glutinous rice and Zongye to the extreme. Cooked glutinous rice is softer and sweeter. 2. What will happen if the lid of the pot for cooking rice dumplings is too tight?
No, there are usually air holes on the lid. Even if the lid is tight, the hot air in the pot can escape through the holes on the lid. When it comes out, there will be no expansion of hot air.
Put the rice dumplings into the pot, then use the lid of the steamer to cover all the rice dumplings, press them with heavy objects, and then pour water into the pot. The water should be at least 3 cm below the rice dumplings;
