15-20 minutes. If you use an ordinary soup pot to cook uncooked rice dumplings, it will take more than 2 hours to cook over medium heat after the water boils. Zongzi, made from steamed glutinous rice wrapped in zongzi leaves, is one of the traditional festival foods of the Chinese nation. Zongzi, as one of the traditional foods with profound cultural heritage in China, has spread far and wide. The custom of eating rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival is still popular in China and has spread to North Korea, Japan and Southeast Asian countries.
Method: Put the wrapped rice dumplings into the pot under cold water and put them neatly into the pot. The water should cover the rice dumplings by about two inches, and then boil them for 20 minutes after they are rolled again.
Can frozen rice dumplings be cooked directly? You can cook them directly. Foods such as quick-frozen rice dumplings, dumplings, corn, and steamed buns can be cooked directly, but cold water is required for direct cooking to avoid excessive expansion and explosion due to hot and cold stimulation caused by hot water in the pot, causing the filling to be exposed. However, it is recommended that when cooking quick-frozen rice dumplings, it is best to defrost them before cooking. Firstly, the cooking process takes less time, and secondly, the cooked rice dumplings are evenly cooked inside and out and taste better.
