Steamed dumplings are usually steamed for 10-20 minutes, depending on the size of the dumplings and the fillings.

The cooking time of steamed dumplings mainly depends on the size of the dumplings and the fillings. If the dumplings are larger, the cooking time will be relatively long, about 15 minutes. If the dumplings are small, the cooking time will be relatively short, 10 minutes is enough. In addition, steaming meat-filled dumplings usually takes longer than vegetarian dumplings because the meat filling needs more time to cook.

In addition to the size and fillings of steamed dumplings, the cooking time of steamed dumplings is also affected by the steamer and heat source. If you use a large-capacity steamer or the heat source is relatively strong, the cooking time of steamed dumplings may be shortened. On the contrary, if you use a small-capacity steamer or the heat source is weak, the cooking time of steamed dumplings may be extended.
