Just cooked zongzi should continue to soak in water. After the dumplings are cooked, it is best not to take them out immediately or soak them in cold water, which will make the taste of the dumplings worse. You should continue to soak them in the pot. If you want to eat the dumplings as soon as possible, cool them in cold water once.

Raw rice dumplings need to be cooked for 30 minutes, depending on the size of the dumplings. The raw material of zongzi is mainly glutinous rice. Glutinous rice is not easy to ripen, because it is wrapped in zongzi leaves, so the time for cooking zongzi must not be too short. If there are old people and children at home, the time should be extended appropriately. Children and old people are suitable for eating soft glutinous rice.
