It's not true that the dumplings are cooked when they float, but they need to be cooked for a few more minutes before they are ready to be eaten. Usually, people like to fish out the dumplings as soon as they float, thinking that the dumplings are already cooked and ready to eat, but in fact, this is not a good time to do so. The main reason why dumplings float is the steam generated inside. As a result, although it can indicate to some extent that the dumpling is cooked, it is not absolute. If the filling is complex, the dumplings may not be fully cooked. To avoid undercooking, dumplings are usually floated for 1 2 minutes before cooking to ensure they are fully cooked.
Cook frozen dumplings for a few minutes after floatingAbout 2 minutes after floating to cook. Hot water, not cold water, is needed to cook frozen dumplings. Frozen dumplings cooked in cold water will fall apart easily. When the dumplings are cooked in hot water, the outer layer of the skin goes into heat quickly, cooks and solidifies, even if the frozen dumplings are placed in a pot. The cooked gyoza skin is elastic, but not perishable.
To cook homemade handmade gyoza, boil the water for 6 minutes. Because the dumplings are fresh homemade dumplings and need to be set immediately after cooking so they don't fall apart, it is easier to cook homemade dumplings in hot water. Usually, they can be cooked within 6 minutes after cooking. Meat dumplings can be cooked for about 7 minutes.
When cooking frozen dumplings, it takes 10 minutes to boil them in a pot. Since frozen dumplings are fully frozen and molded, the hot pot under cold water heats up too slowly, and the dumplings will gradually melt as they slowly heat up, causing the meat or skin to break. The top layer of the dumpling will cook faster in hot water. It takes hot water to cook and set without breaking the skin, while frozen dumplings need to be cooked for 10 minutes to cook because the filling also freezes.
What is the reason that dumplings are not cooked
1, frozen dumplings frozen too long, the water in the dumpling skin will evaporate, the dumplings are not easy to cook, it will be a little raw. Dumplings should not be stewed in low to medium heat.
2. To cook dumplings, put more water and add the right amount of salt to increase the cooking resistance of the dumpling skin.
3. Boil the water before putting the dumplings into the pot, and stir fry evenly from time to time to prevent the dumplings from sticking to the pot.
4. Don't boil the water too hard or the dumplings will break easily. Add a little cold water when the water boils. Repeat this three times.
5. Cook the frozen dumplings and observe the shape of the dumplings. The dumplings will slowly soften as they cook. If the dumplings float on the water surface and the skin is not flat, it means the dumplings are cooked.
