How long does it take to cook raw rice dumplings?

Raw zongzi usually takes about 2 hours to cook.

Generally speaking, the bigger the zongzi, the longer it takes to cook. At the same time, the cooking time varies according to the filling. For example, minced zongzi takes longer to cook than vegetarian zongzi to ensure that the meat is cooked thoroughly.

At the same time, different cooking tools and methods can also affect the cooking time of zongzi. If zongzi is cooked in an ordinary pot, it will take a relatively long time; using a pressure cooker can shorten the cooking time.

Some people prefer to cook zongzi softer, which may take a longer cooking time.
