The sticky texture of the dumplings is not easy to digest, and children can get stuck in the throat if they are not careful when consuming them, and they are prone to abdominal pain, bloating, indigestion and other gastrointestinal disorders.
For older children, a small amount of mash dumplings may not be a big problem, but should be cooked for a period of time, so that the alcohol is fully evaporated, to reduce alcohol intake.
