Do you want to hit on jiaozi? After wrapping, you can cook directly in the pot without soaking in water. However, if you don't eat them for a while, you can wrap them up and soak them in cold water for several hours. Be careful not to soak for too long, otherwise it will go bad easily.
If some uncooked raw zongzi need to be preserved, they should not be kept in the refrigerator for too long. If you are afraid of spoilage, cook it and put it in the refrigerator. Even if you put zongzi in the freezer, it should not be more than 3 days. Don't freeze for more than two weeks, just heat it before eating. Whether you package jiaozi yourself or buy jiaozi from outside, you should pay attention to one demand and how many packages you need. It's best to eat jiaozi now, even if there is too much left.
How long does it take to soak zongzi? If it is stored in cold water, it can be replaced every few hours. It can be stored in cold water for at least 24 hours without deterioration. If stored in the refrigerator for several days or even months, it will not go bad.
Due to the hot weather, high temperature and high humidity in summer, it is suitable for the growth and reproduction of various microorganisms, pathogenic bacteria and molds. Zongzi contains water and consists of glutinous rice, meat (or red bean paste) and other raw materials. It is easy to deteriorate when stored at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Don't buy or eat zongzi stored at room temperature and sold without refrigeration facilities. If it needs to be stored for a long time, it is best to put it in the frozen layer of the refrigerator. Zongzi can only be preserved after being cooked. Don't put it in the fresh-keeping layer after cooking, it will go bad easily there, and it won't go bad after ten and a half months in the frozen layer (the refrigerator temperature is preferably five to three degrees Celsius).
It's best not to wrap zongzi overnight, because the rice must be washed first, so that it will swell and turn sour overnight, that is, it will go bad, especially in May, when the weather is still hot, and the south doesn't know if it is the north. In fact, you can cook the wrapped zongzi first, then put it in the refrigerator when it is cold, and heat it when you want to eat it.
