In most cases, there are many stresses in cooking dumplings, especially the control of water temperature and time. So should I use cold water or hot water to cook dumplings? Let's take a look at it in detail! Whether to boil the dumplings in cold water or hot water
To cook the dumplings in hot water, first prepare a clean pot, pour half a pot of water into the pot, and boil it with strong fire. After the water boils, put the dumplings in the pot, and then gently stir them with a spoon to make them rotate, so that the dumplings are not easy to stick to the pot. After waiting for the dumplings to float, you should quickly cook them with low fire. If you want to cook them with high fire, the dumplings will easily break if they keep rolling.
Tips: After the dumplings are put into the pot, boil them once and add cold water once, and then add cold water for about three times to get out of the pot, so that the dumplings can be cooked completely and thoroughly. How long does it take for dumplings to be cooked thoroughly? Quick-frozen dumplings
Generally, dumplings packaged in supermarkets are quick-frozen, and the cooking time is relatively longer. To avoid external cooking and internal production, it is suggested that the quick-frozen dumplings be thawed before cooking and put in cold water to make the frozen dumplings absorb water. Wait until the water boils before putting the dumplings in. It will take about 1 minutes. Because the dry powder is put into hot water, the outer layer absorbs hot water quickly and expands, and the water can no longer enter the inside, so the inside is still raw. Therefore, it can be put in cold water first, so that the dumplings are full of cold water, and then put in boiling water, so that they can be evenly heated. Fresh dumplings
The cooking time of fresh dumplings is relatively short, and it usually takes about 7 minutes after the water is boiled. As long as you see the dumplings floating, it's almost the same, and then you can cook them for another minute. It is not recommended to cook dumplings for too long, otherwise they will be easy to paste. Tips for cooking glutinous rice balls
Before cooking glutinous rice balls, use clean hands to knead the glutinous rice balls slightly, so that there is a slight crack on the outer skin, so that the glutinous rice balls are cooked inside and outside, will not be pinched, and are soft, smooth and delicious.
after the water is boiled, slowly put the glutinous rice balls into the pot, at the same time, gently push them away with a spoon and stir them slightly in the same direction to make them rotate several times without sticking to the pot. Cook on slow fire
Cook on strong fire for a while. When the glutinous rice balls float, quickly cook them on low fire, otherwise the glutinous rice balls will keep tumbling in the pot, and the cooked glutinous rice balls will be uncooked. Point cold water
In the process of cooking dumplings, an appropriate amount of cold water should be added to the pot every time it is boiled, so as to keep the dumplings in the pot in a state of rolling rather than rolling. After boiling for two or three times, cook for a while, and then you can eat it out of the pot. Change the water frequently
After the boiled water in the pot has been boiled for two or three times, change the water in time. Because at this time, the glutinous rice balls in the pot have become thick and greasy. If we continue to use them, they will not only cook slowly, but also be easy to be caught. Cooking
raw glutinous rice balls in time contains a lot of water. If they are cooked for a long time, they will go bad. If they are cooked after freezing, they will often break the skin and affect their appearance. Get out of the pot quickly
If you can't finish the cooked glutinous rice balls for a while, you should take them out of the pot in time, put them in clean cold water, take them out and put them on a plate after cooling.
