The annual Dragon Boat Festival is about to arrive, so eating zongzi at the Dragon Boat Festival is still a tradition in history. How long will zongzi be cooked at the Dragon Boat Festival? How can zongzi be cooked quickly? Let's learn about it with small editors of sihai.com.
1. How long can zongzi be cooked
The cooking time of zongzi is directly related to the rice soaking time.
Under normal circumstances, when we make zongzi, the glutinous rice needs to be soaked for a long time in advance. If we soak the rice for more than 10 hours, the glutinous rice is easy to be cooked. Generally, it can be fully cooked in 2 hours; if the time for soaking the rice is very short, it needs to be boiled for more than 3 hours to ensure that it is fully cooked.
2. How long does the pressure cooker take
The temperature of the pressure cooker is much higher than that of the normal temperature cooking. Therefore, it is faster to cook zongzi. Put the wrapped zongzi into the pressure cooker and add water. The water should be about 1.2cm over the zongzi. Close the lid of the pot, turn on the upper pressure valve after boiling the pot, and cook the zongzi for about 30 minutes with medium and low heat.
3. How long does it take to cook zongzi in microwave oven
The fresh zongzi purchased can also be cooked in microwave oven. Generally, the zongzi purchased in supermarket are cooked and frozen. This kind of zongzi is easy to cook. Use a lunch box to put zongzi in the lunch box, add more than two thirds of the water that can soak zongzi, put it in microwave oven, turn on the fire and cook for about 5 minutes.
4. How long does it take for the supermarket to cook
The zongzi purchased by the supermarket are all frozen zongzi, which are cooked originally. Therefore, they are easy to be soft when boiled. First boil a pot of boiling water, put it into the pot while the boiling water is boiling, and boil it for 5-8 minutes.
5. How to cook zongzi quickly
Saying 1: it depends on the size of zongzi dumplings. The tightness of brown leaf dumplings has a lot to do with the looseness. Red beans and peanuts need to be soaked for a long time. Half an hour is enough for glutinous rice. One hour after steaming in a pressure cooker is enough.
Saying 2: boil in a pressure cooker for 20 minutes to half an hour. It's easy to boil zongzi if it's too long. If you don't use the pressure cooker, it may take 2 hours for the bag to be fully cooked, or there will be one grain in the middle. If the bag is loose, it will be faster, an hour and a half.
Saying 3: the time to cook zongzi is related to the size of the zongzi you wrap. The glutinous rice must be soaked first, and it's better to put some grey water (salty) when soaking, so that the zongzi cooked is delicious. To know if it's not cooked, pull it up to a certain extent and press it with your fingers. If you feel soft and sticky, it's cooked. Otherwise, turn it over and continue cooking. My wife makes zongzi with a jin of rice and two or so. She cooks it in an ordinary aluminum pot for more than 6 hours. Our firewood doesn't need money. Several families cook it very lively together, sometimes for eight hours.
