Fresh dumplings should be put into the pot with boiling water and pushed gently to avoid sticking.

First, boil the water, add an appropriate amount of salt and cooking oil, and then put the wrapped dumplings into the pot. Be careful not to put too many dumplings in at once to avoid sticking to each other. When the water boils again, pour half a bowl of water and continue to cook. This process needs to be repeated two to three times until all the dumplings float on the water, which means the dumplings are cooked.

While cooking the dumplings, you need to gently push them with a spatula to prevent them from sticking together. At the same time, you need to pay attention to the heat and the amount of water, and keep the temperature and stability of the water to ensure that the dumplings are evenly heated and cooked. In addition, if you are cooking frozen dumplings, you need to boil the water, add the dumplings, and cook them over medium-low heat to prevent the dumplings from cracking due to excessive heat.

Reasons for boiling dumplings

1. Shorten the time of cooking dumplings: Boil dumplings in boiling water. The dumplings can be heated quickly, which can shorten the cooking time and prevent the dumpling wrappers from being soaked in water for a long time. Excessive absorption of water ensures the consistency and texture of the dumpling wrappers.

2. Prevent dumplings from sticking together: When cooking dumplings in boiling water, the high-temperature water flow can quickly separate the dumplings and prevent them from sticking together. At the same time, high temperature can quickly solidify the starch on the surface of the dumpling wrappers, making the dumpling wrappers smoother and reducing the possibility of adhesion.

3. Ensure that the dumplings are heated evenly: Use boiling water to cook the dumplings. The water has high temperature and good convection, which can ensure that the dumplings are heated evenly in the water, and it is not easy for the dumplings to be partially undercooked or boiled to pieces. In addition, gently pushing the dumplings prevents them from sticking to the bottom of the pot and also causes the dumplings to tumble in the water to ensure even heating.
