An office worker in Guangzhou used a microwave to heat frozen dumplings, achieving a taste comparable to boiling.
Teacher Liu, I saw a news story saying someone cooked dumplings with a microwave. Is that true?
Yes, it’s true. She put frozen dumplings in a bowl, added some water, and heated them in the microwave for five minutes.
Wow, that’s so convenient! Does the taste differ from boiling?
Experts say the taste is almost the same. The dumpling skin is springy, and the filling is fully cooked.
So the microwave can achieve such a good result! And no need to wash a pot—so practical for office workers.
Exactly, just one bowl is enough, and there’s no oil smoke. Many netizens also say the taste is good.
Next time I want to try too. Eating hot dumplings at home in just five minutes—so happy!
