Do you cook Yuanxiao with boiling water or cold water?

Handmade Yuanxiao is boiled. If it is a quick-frozen dumpling, it needs to be cooked in cold water.

That is to say, if the frozen dumplings just taken out of the refrigerator are directly boiled in water, they are easily broken due to the large temperature difference between inside and outside, which may not be obvious at first, but the phenomenon of broken skin and exposed stuffing will appear one after another when cooking. That's why it looks good when it's done, but it's rotten when it's done.

Putting the frozen dumplings into the cold water in the pot is actually a slow thawing process. The time span between frozen boiled dumplings is too long. Early glutinous rice balls are easy to soak, even if they are not rotten, they will be deformed. In the later stage, it will be broken because of excessive gelatinization of glutinous rice skin. If you don't want to cook it, you may get caught. If you don't want to cook, it's easy to cook and get into a dilemma.

Matters needing attention in making Lantern Festival.

The dumplings that have just been put into the pot will sink to the bottom of the pot. At this time, you should always use the spoon back to stir and push to avoid the damage of the paste pot to the skin. At the same time, stirring can also make jiaozi heated more evenly and cooked more roundly without deformation.

Remember to add some water when the water boils, and don't let jiaozi keep churning in the boiling water. The skin is easy to cook at this time, but the stuffing is still raw. Every time you boil the pot, add water immediately, and order it back and forth for 2-3 times, and the dumplings will float round and round, and there will be no broken, exposed and raw phenomena at all.
