How to heat frozen zongzi?
Water heating
You can put the zongzi into boiling water, and the amount of water is appropriate to just pass the zongzi, and heat it with strong fire until it "penetrates the body". The heating time depends on the size and thawing degree of zongzi, generally not less than eight minutes, but too long time will make the taste of zongzi thin. It is suggested to steam rice dumplings in water, which can reduce the taste deterioration of rice dumplings; In order to ensure "penetration", the heating time can be appropriately longer.
Microwave heating
It is best to use a special microwave steamer, and inject a proper amount of boiling water into the steamer, and then put the zongzi into it. In this way, zongzi can fully absorb water and keep soft during microwave heating.
Frying pan heating
Add a proper amount of cooking oil to the frying pan, heat it, then put the thick pieces of zongzi into it, and fry the zongzi until both sides are golden with slow fire. This method of eating is particularly fragrant, but it is not suitable for people who are prone to get angry or are afraid of greasy food.
Matters needing attention in eating zongzi
Avoid eating before it is ripe.
When wrapping zongzi, we should not wrap it too big, otherwise it will be difficult to cook it. It must be completely cooked before eating, otherwise it will be harmful to health.
Avoid keeping it for too long
It is best to eat the wrapped zongzi as soon as possible, but it should not be kept for too long, only for 3-4 days at most, and it should be reheated when eating. In addition, the place where dumplings are kept should be clean and hygienic, preferably in a cool and ventilated place.
Avoid excessive consumption.
Zongzi is mostly made of glutinous rice, which has high viscosity and is not easy to digest, and lacks fiber and contains too much fat, salt and sugar. You can eat less at a time or choose a smaller zongzi. For adults, a meal of 50g, 1~2 zongzi can meet the normal energy demand.
Zongzi is best eaten while it is hot.
It's healthier to eat the hot zongzi newly wrapped. Don't let it cool and then heat it repeatedly. Therefore, it is best to make it yourself and eat the hot zongzi that has just been wrapped.
