What are the fillings for Yuanxiao?

Yuanxiao has dessert and salty stuffing, as follows:

Sweet stuffing is common in Yuanxiao. There are more than ten kinds of fillings in Yuanxiao, such as candied dates, borneol, sesame, cherries, rock sugar, orange cakes, roses, ham, sesame seeds and walnuts. Some are soft and smooth, some are sweet and moist, some are dry and fragrant, and some are full of fruit. Sometimes, there are several different fillings in the same bowl of Yuanxiao.

The most common stuffing with salty taste is meat stuffing, such as egg yolk and fresh meat zongzi, which is often eaten in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. There is also a lot of meat in it, and chicken is very common. Chicken dumplings are a bit strange to people who are used to eating dumplings. Xingyi's chicken soup bag contains chicken, chicken soup and peanut butter.

Matters needing attention in purchasing Yuanxiao:

1, look at the color and shape first. A good Lantern Festival is white in color, without miscellaneous points and round in shape. The inferior Yuanxiao is dim and uneven in color and irregular in shape. Let's see if there are any cracks in the Lantern Festival. If the freezing technology doesn't pass, Yuanxiao will crack easily, so the water and nutrition of Yuanxiao will be lost a lot and the taste will be rough.

2. Gently touch Yuanxiao with your fingers. If the Yuanxiao is soft, it means that it has been thawed, and the taste and nutrition of this Yuanxiao will be greatly reduced.

3, try to cook, good Yuanxiao does not mix soup, not sticky, and will soon float. Poor quality Yuanxiao is easy to mix soup and stick to the pot or even break it.
