    The hot water used to cook rice dumplings must reach the whole body of the rice dumplings. Cooking for two hours can ensure the soft and glutinous taste of the rice dumplings. If the rice dumplings are not eaten immediately, they can remain soaked in the pot for about 2 hours and have the effect of continuing to soften., and the rice grains are not easy to stick to the rice dumplings leaves!
