Jiaozi is our traditional food. How should I cook it so as not to break jiaozi?

Among the countries in the world, China's cuisine is definitely the most diverse. Besides hot pot and stir-fry, there are some traditional delicacies, such as jiaozi. Jiaozi's approach is very simple. Prepare the stuffing in advance, then mix the dough and wrap the stuffing. You can pack more jiaozi when you have time, and then freeze these jiaozi in the refrigerator. It is convenient to cook and eat anytime and anywhere, and it is especially delicious. However, there are some precautions when cooking jiaozi.

Broken skin of jiaozi shows that it is not done well. Some people go to jiaozi at home and always feel that their jiaozi is not so complete. When they were fished out of the pot, the skin was broken and the stuffing was all over the bottom of the pot, losing the original flavor of jiaozi. In fact, this is a sign that jiaozi didn't do well. Be careful when you are a jiaozi. The following small series will introduce you to the method of doing jiaozi.

In the process of cooking jiaozi, first take out the frozen jiaozi and thaw it for a few minutes, during which you can pour a proper amount of cold water into the pot. Turn on the fire. When the water boils, put jiaozi into the pot, cover the pot and simmer for five minutes. By this time, when the lid was lifted, jiaozi was already rolling on the surface of hot water. But don't worry about getting jiaozi out of the pot at this time. It may not be ripe yet. Pour some cold water into the bowl, then pour the cold water into the pot, and stir jiaozi with a spoon to prevent jiaozi from sticking to the pot.

How to cook to keep jiaozi from breaking skin? Be careful not to be too rough when using the spoon, as it will easily break the dumpling skin. Pour in cold water again, then cover the lid, turn from high fire to low fire and stew for 3 minutes. Don't worry about opening the lid when the time comes. Let jiaozi continue to precipitate in the pot for a while, then open the lid, and the delicious jiaozi will be cooked. Not only will it not break the skin, but it can also ensure that jiaozi is completely cooked.
