First, we need to prepare an iron pot, then add a suitable amount of water to it, and turn on the heat to heat the water in the pot.
When heating the water, don't bring it to a boil, but heat it until there are small bubbles at the bottom, then add the frozen dumplings to the pot and cook them.
Cooking the dumplings should not be done with either cold water or boiling water, as both of these methods are inappropriate. Cold water in the pot will cause the dumplings to stick to the pot, and the dumplings will not float during the cooking process, and the longer the dumplings are cooked, the more the skin will be broken.
