Cooking time for soup dumplings is about 10-15 minutes or so.

Instant frozen dumplings need to be placed in a pot with hot water, when the water in the pot boils, put the right amount of dumplings into the pot, after the pot is opened, put the right amount of cold water and continue to boil. After boiling again, put the right amount of cold water into the pot, after boiling, after the dumplings float on the water surface, wait for about 2 minutes, you can fish out the dumplings to eat.
