Frozen zongzi can be boiled or steamed.
Frozen zongzi can be boiled or steamed after heating. There is little difference between the two, which can make the zongzi evenly heated, cooked inside and outside, fragrant and soft. In addition to these two heating methods, frozen zongzi can also be heated by microwave oven and oven. The heating time is short, only about 5 minutes, and the taste of zongzi is different.
There is almost no difference between boiling and steaming, so frozen zongzi can be boiled or steamed. As long as you can heat the dumplings thoroughly and evenly, you can spray some water on the surface of the dumplings before steaming.
However, it should be noted that if the frozen zongzi is still raw zongzi, it needs to be cooked, and it takes a long time for raw glutinous rice to absorb enough water to cook. If you steam zongzi, it will be difficult to cook.
How to eat frozen zongzi? 1. Heat with steam.
Thaw the zongzi and put it in a small steamer. Put a steamer in the pot and water in the pot. Make a fire and boil water. After the water is boiled, stew for 5 minutes and serve. Steaming with water can reduce the taste deterioration of zongzi.
Heated frying pan
Add a proper amount of cooking oil to the wok, heat it, cut the thawed zongzi into thick slices, and slowly fry until both sides are golden. This kind of food tastes delicious, but it is not suitable for people who get angry easily or are afraid of greasy food.
Heat with an electric cooker
Put boiling water into a rice cooker with a scale of 1-2 cm. Put zongzi in a rice cooker and heat it for 10- 15 minutes, then take it out and eat it.
4. Microwave heating
When using a special microwave steamer, add a proper amount of boiling water to the steamer, and then add zongzi. In this way, zongzi can fully absorb the moisture in the microwave and keep soft.
5. Boiling and heating
Thaw the zongzi and put it in boiling water. The amount of water should be just in front of zongzi. Heat it with high fire for eight minutes. Note that too long will make the taste of zongzi mushy.
Do frozen zongzi need to be thawed? It usually needs to be thawed.
In the frozen state, zongzi is still frozen. At this time, if you throw it directly into the pot and cook it, it will easily explode under the stimulation of cold and heat, which will lead to the explosion of frozen zongzi.
Usually, frozen zongzi is thawed at room temperature, slowly heated and cooked with cold water, so that the inside of zongzi is heated evenly and the taste is delicate and soft.
Cooked frozen zongzi can be cooked in a microwave oven for 5 minutes.
The frozen raw rice dumplings bought in the supermarket are cooked in the pressure cooker for about half an hour, and in the ordinary pot for more than an hour. The cooked zongzi can be steamed directly in the steamer for about ten minutes.
Frozen zongzi, whether cooked or raw, are generally cooked.
Generally speaking, frozen zongzi are cooked, but they are mainly wrapped with glutinous rice and some fillings, such as mung beans, pork belly, red bean paste and egg yolk. Glutinous rice is a kind of food raw material rich in starch, which is easy to reverse at low temperature. Therefore, the frozen zongzi needs to be reheated and cooked thoroughly before eating.
Quick-frozen zongzi are usually cooked, but they need to be heated thoroughly before eating. Otherwise, it may lead to discomfort such as diarrhea and affect your health.
Quick-frozen zongzi is sterilized at high temperature, then cooled to normal temperature with cold water, then transported to spiral quick-frozen tunnel at -40℃ by conveyor belt for 30 minutes, and finally refrigerated at -20℃ for 72 hours!
