Generally speaking, the dumplings made at home are not particularly big. If you buy them in a supermarket, they are the same size. Cook homemade or quick-frozen dumplings in a pot for more than 1 minutes, then open the lid to observe their volume. If the volume of the dumplings is still the same as when they were first put into the pot, or only slightly larger, it means that the dumplings are not completely cooked at this time. Be sure to find that when its volume is twice the original volume, it means it is cooked. How to know whether the dumplings are cooked

1. We can judge whether the dumplings are cooked by observing the color of the surface. The surface of cooked dumplings is not pure white, but beige. If there is powdery substance on the surface of glutinous rice balls and they are pure white, it means that glutinous rice balls are not cooked yet. Or you can put chopsticks in the pot and press them. If it is hard, it is not cooked.

2. Tangyuan will not sink in the pot after it is cooked. Most dumplings will float on the water when cooked. This is the best case to distinguish.

3. When the outside of the glutinous rice balls turns slightly transparent. Touching it is also very elastic, indicating that the dumplings are cooked. When cooking dumplings, don't stick them on the pot. Sticking to the bottom of the pot will stick and it is difficult to clean. How long does it take for the dumplings to be cooked thoroughly

1. Fresh dumplings

The cooking time of dumplings is short, about 7 minutes. Almost when you see the glutinous rice balls floating. Cook for another minute. It is recommended not to cook for too long, or the dumplings will stick together.

2. Quick-frozen dumplings

It takes longer to buy quick-frozen dumplings in the supermarket. It will take about 1 minutes. First, take out the quick-frozen dumplings and thaw them at room temperature, or put them in cold water to make them absorb water. After the water is boiled, put the dumplings in.

Note: If the quick-frozen glutinous rice balls are directly put into boiling water before cooking, it will lead to external cooking and endogenous. Because the dry powder is put into hot water, the outer layer quickly absorbs hot water and expands, and water can no longer enter the interior, so the interior is still unprocessed. Therefore, you can put the dumplings in cold water first, let them eat cold water, and then put them in boiling water, so that the dumplings can be heated evenly.
