First, the pressure cooker takes an hour.
Eating zongzi is the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. Every household will make zongzi. Tangyuan is delicious, and everyone will match some auxiliary materials, such as red dates, red beans, peanuts, fresh meat, egg yolks and so on. Everything is delicious. When we make zongzi at home, we will also face this problem, that is, cooking zongzi. Many people wrap zongzi well, but they have a headache. How to cook zongzi? How long does it take to cook? In what pot? Actually, I prefer to eat zongzi. Besides making zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival, I often make zongzi myself at other times. I have a pressure cooker at home. Jiaozi wrapped it and put it directly in the pressure cooker, and added a proper amount of water. It only takes one hour for jiaozi to cook, and it tastes good, so there will be no skipping meals.
Second, if you need to cook with gas for two hours.
If there is no pressure cooker at home, I don't think it is difficult to cook zongzi with gas. It is best to prepare a stainless steel cauldron at home, put it in the zongzi, and then press the zongzi with a stainless steel basin. This is more compact, and the glutinous rice in zongzi will not be cooked. This is my perennial experience. it wont hurt you to try it
Third, if you are in your hometown, you will usually cook for one night.
The most unforgettable thing is cooking zongzi in a big iron pot in my hometown. Whenever there are many people in the family, my mother will pack a pot of zongzi for everyone to taste. The iron pot at home is so big that it can hold hundreds of kilograms of zongzi. After packing, we will put it in the refrigerator for a few days, which can be eaten as a staple food or as a snack when we are hungry. When cooking zongzi, firewood is used at the bottom. My brothers and sisters and I took turns to add firewood to it, let it cook on the fire for two hours, and then slowly cook zongzi with the residual fire in the stove. After a night, the next morning, the fragrant and soft zongzi was out of the pot, and it was really delicious.
