The packaged rice dumplings cold water in the pot, neatly yards into the pot, the water should be soaked over the rice dumplings two inches or so, to be re-rolled up and then cook with a strong fire for about 1 hour. Here are a few things to emphasize:

1. The dumplings must be cold water in the pot, because it is better to cook dumplings with cold water. As the water temperature slowly rises, the flavor of the rice dumplings will slowly penetrate into the glutinous rice, cooked rice dumplings will be more fragrant. In addition, the cold water cooking rice dumplings can make the cooked rice dumplings ripe and consistent, no hard heart.

2. The water surface must be more than the rice dumplings, and must be soaked through the rice dumplings about two inches, this is because the rice dumplings in the process of cooking will be expanded, if you do not add enough water, the rice dumplings above the top of the water surface, it is not easy to cook through the rice dumplings cooked rice dumplings are not soft and sticky enough.

3. After the rice dumplings into the pot, it is best to use the top of the weight to compact, so that the rice dumplings will not be cooked out of the scattered rotten.

4. Do not add raw water during the cooking process.

5. It is important to note that the rice dumplings should not be cooked with other rice dumplings.

6. The time to cook the rice dumplings, this is really not very good to say. Because the time needed to cook rice dumplings and many factors are related, such as the length of time the glutinous rice soaked, the size of the family's fire, the size of the dumplings, the size of the pressure cooker or ordinary pot, etc., these factors will affect the length of time to cook rice dumplings.

Taking about one or two rice dumplings as an example, if the glutinous rice has been soaked for enough time, it can be cooked for about 1 hour after the water in the pot boils. If you use a pressure cooker to cook the dumplings, turn down the heat after the steam comes on and it will be ready in about half an hour.

In addition, if you want the dumplings to cook faster, you can also add some edible alkali or baking soda to the water, but this practice is not good for health and is not recommended.

Friends who have a pressure cooker at home try to cook rice dumplings in a pressure cooker, because the pressure cooker cooks rice dumplings faster, better flavor and less loss of nutrients, but only to pay attention to the safety of the cooking time.

Second step: soak the dumplings

feeling that the dumplings are almost cooked, you can take a dumpling to open and look at it, if it is not cooked then continue to continue to cook. Do not wait for the pot and then back to the pot, because one time did not cook through, cold and then cook it will take longer. You can also cook it to a certain point and then pick it up and press it with your finger. If it feels soft and sticky, it's done, otherwise you need to keep cooking.

After the dumplings are cooked, do not rush out of the pot, leave the dumplings in the pot, soak for more than 1 hour and then out of the pot, so that the flavor is better, the texture will be better.
