If it is raw zongzi, it takes a long time to cook in the pot, which usually takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour. Don't take it out immediately after cooking, cover it in the pot and cook it for about half an hour, so that the zongzi can be cooked thoroughly. If the dumplings are wrapped big and tight, it will take a long time to cook, so you need to control the time yourself. Especially when cooking some meat dumplings, it is necessary to increase the cooking time, which is longer than ordinary white dumplings or bean dumplings, so what is the filling in the dumplings also determines how long it takes to cook.

2. Cold dumplings

Cold dumplings are all cooked dumplings, just boil and heat them. If you cook cold zongzi, you usually put it in the pot 10 minutes and put it in the microwave for 5 minutes, and you can basically eat it. But if some zongzi are bigger, they can be extended for a period of time, and they must be completely heated before eating.

3. Quick-frozen zongzi

Generally, quick-frozen zongzi is kept for a long time, and the glutinous rice in it is very hard after quick-freezing, so it takes a little longer to cook, but after all, it takes a little shorter to cook zongzi. Generally, it can be eaten after being boiled in water 15 minutes. Of course, peel off the leaves after cooking. If the inside is still cold, or the rice grains are still hard, you should heat them in the microwave before eating.
