The boiled zongzi needs to be soaked in water, but not directly in cold water. After the dumplings are cooked, don't rush out of the pot. Leave them in the pot to soak and eat, which will make the dumplings taste sweeter.

Matters needing attention in cooking zongzi

The time to cook zongzi is related to the size of the zongzi you wrapped. Glutinous rice must be soaked first, and it is best to put some salt water when soaking, so that the cooked zongzi is delicious. To know if it is ripe, pick it up to a certain extent and press it with your finger. If it feels soft and sticky, it's cooked. Otherwise, turn it over and continue cooking.

In addition, jiaozi must be boiled before dropping, and water should be soaked in noodles. After rolling it again, boil it for about 3 hours. Do not add raw water in the process of cooking zongzi.
