Cooking Yuanxiao and cooking soup dumplings take different time, Yuanxiao takes long time to cook, more than 10 minutes; soup dumplings take short time to cook, 3 to 5 minutes. It's best to keep them in the freezer.

The main ingredient of Yuanxiao or Tangyuan is glutinous rice, which is sticky and hard to digest. No matter how sweet or salty the filling is, it contains high calories and fat. Therefore, experts remind the elderly and children suffering from gastrointestinal diseases, kidney disease, chronic pancreatitis, indigestion and overweight to eat less or not eat.

How to cook dumplings: There are a few key points to cooking dumplings: first, boil the water in the pot, then put the dumplings in the pot and gently push the back of the spoon so they don't stick to the bottom of the pot. Second, slow cooking: after the dumplings are cooked in the pot until they float, they must be quickly changed to slow cooking.

If you still use high heat, the dumplings will easily blow up. At the same time, uneven heating will also easily lead to hard and unpalatable dumplings cooked on the outside and hard on the inside. Third, add cold water: after the dumplings float, add appropriate amount of cold water so that the dumplings in the pot become cold when heated, the skin layer condenses, and the powder is solid; after boiling for two or three times, they can be fished out and eaten.
