How to cook Rice Dumplings
Rice dumplings are best eaten when they are steamed, but may also be eaten as sold from your favourite rice dumpling spot. If the rice dumplings are not eaten on the day of purchase, they should be placed in the refrigerator, where they can usually be kept for up to four days. When you’re ready to tuck in, reheat the rice dumplings by steaming for 15 minutes or boiling for 12 minutes.
