Zongzi bought in the supermarket can be steamed or boiled. But it is cooked more evenly and cooked faster. If jiaozi without stuffing can be cooked, it is recommended to steam jiaozi with stuffing, which can better maintain the flavor and avoid cross-flavor. Pack jiaozi by yourself, fearing that the package will not be tight. Steaming will be safer.

Is the zongzi bought in the supermarket boiled or steamed?

If you want to cook several flavors of zongzi at the same time, you must steam it at this time. Because if you put it in water and cook it together, it is easy to have a cross taste.

Zongzi bought in supermarkets are usually cooked, which can be heated for 15-20 minutes. If there are many zongzi, the heating time can be extended appropriately.

If it is just wrapped raw zongzi, it usually needs to be boiled. Because the main material of zongzi is glutinous rice, glutinous rice is not easy to cook, and it is not easy to heat through when steaming, so the cooked zongzi is not soft or waxy. So raw zongzi are usually cooked.
