How long does it take to cook dumplings?

Dumplings generally take 10-15 minutes to cook, but this also depends on the type of dumpling, the size of the dumpling, the method of cooking the dumpling, the temperature of the water, etc.

1. The type of dumpling

Different types of dumplings may take different times to cook. For example, meat dumplings generally take longer to cook than vegetarian dumplings to ensure that the meat is cooked.

2. Dumpling size

Larger dumplings may take longer to cook because they require more heat transfer to reach the degree of internal ripeness.

3. Cooking dumpling methods

Cooking dumplings can be done by boiling or steaming. Boiling dumplings usually takes a shorter time, while cooking dumplings may take a little longer.

4. The temperature of the water

Boiling water before adding dumplings can speed up the cooking process. Make sure the water keeps boiling and add the right amount of water as needed to ensure that the dumplings are cooked.

During the cooking process, you can judge whether the dumplings are cooked by observing the state of the dumplings. The cooked dumplings should become swollen, float on the water surface, and the dumpling skin becomes transparent.
