Dumplings generally take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to cook.

The cooking time for gyoza is usually determined by the size of the gyoza and the tool used to cook them. If you use an ordinary pot to cook gyoza, it usually takes 10-15 minutes to cook the gyoza after the water has boiled, and then the lid is put on the pot to cook the gyoza. If the dumplings are large or numerous, the cooking time should be extended. If you use steamed dumplings, steamed dumplings are usually steamed for 10-15 minutes to cook, depending on the size and number of dumplings.

All in all, the cooking time for dumplings depends on the specific situation. Usually, the cooking time is around 10-15 minutes, but the exact time needs to be adjusted according to the size and quantity of the dumplings as well as the cooking tools. When the dumplings are cooking, you should observe the changes in the dumplings. When the dumplings float on the surface of the water and the skin becomes transparent, you can judge that they are cooked.

Precautions for Cooking Dumplings

1. You can't put the dumplings in cold water: if you put the dumplings in cold water, the dumplings will sink to the bottom of the water and stick to the bottom of the pot, which will soften the dumplings and make the noodle soup muddy, so you should wait for the water to boil, then put the dumplings in the pot and gently stir them around a few times to prevent them from sticking.

2. You can't put the lid on the pot as soon as the dumplings come out: if you put the lid on the pot as soon as the dumplings come out, the pressure inside the pot will be too high and it will be easy for the dumpling skins to be cooked, and once the skins are broken, the dumpling fillings will be all over the pot, so you need to wait for the water to boil again, and wait for a few minutes for the dumpling skins to be evenly heated, and then put the lid on the pot after the skins have been cooked.

3. You can't cook the dumplings without a lid: when the dumpling skin is cooked, you should cover the lid to cook the dumpling filling. After covering the lid, the pressure inside the pot will be higher and the heat inside the pot will be less, so you can cook the dumpling filling faster, especially for meat-filled dumplings, and if you don't cover the lid to cook the dumplings, you can cook the dumplings very slowly, and it may be raw, and the skin of the dumplings will be cooked and you don't have to worry about breaking it.
