How to have a round night?

Although Yuanxiao looks similar, although they are all made of glutinous rice and have similar shapes, they are all white and round, but their practices and tastes are still different.

Roll out the Lantern Festival, make the stuffing first and then make the skin. Tangyuan Bao, make the skin first and then the stuffing. Tangyuan has much more water than Yuanxiao.

For example, the famous Jinfang Yuanxiao must be made of glutinous rice and fine flour. Peach kernels should be selected one by one. After the Lantern Festival is shaken, we should pick out the small and broken ones.

Daoxiang Village, which has always been called "the king of popularity", uses stone powder to make Yuanxiao. Although the stone mill is time-consuming and laborious, the milled glutinous rice flour is fine and even, and its taste is better. The fillings are walnut kernels in Fenyang, Shanxi, roses in Miao Feng, western Beijing, black sesame seeds in Jiangxi, and osmanthus flowers in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Yuanxiao is "rolled out" with dry and soft skin. The stuffing is hard and generally single and sweet, and black sesame, red bean paste and hawthorn are all common flavors.

With salty and palatable sauerkraut, the taste is long and rich.

Gunyuanxiao

Yuanxiao is much more complicated to make than glutinous rice balls. First of all, you need to fill the stuffing, cut the solidified stuffing into small pieces, water it once, then throw it into a basket full of glutinous rice thread, roll it, soak it again, continue to roll it back into the basket, and repeat it several times until the stuffing is covered with glutinous rice thread and rolled into a ball.

Baotangyuan

Jiaozi's approach is a bit like Bao jiaozi's. First, add water to glutinous rice flour to make dough. Just like wrapping jiaozi, grab a small piece of wet dough by hand and knead it into a circle. Pick a ball of stuffing and put it on the glutinous rice slices, then turn your hands over and close them to make glutinous rice balls.

Because of the different production techniques, the taste of Yuanxiao is stronger than that of glutinous rice balls. After the Yuanxiao is cooked, the soup will be thicker, the skin will be softer, the stuffing will be harder and biting, and the fruit and rice will be richer.

Tangyuan has a soft taste and is not limited by the filling form, and its taste is much richer than Yuanxiao. In addition to traditional black sesame seeds, red bean paste and five kernels, there are fruits, flowers and meat stuffing.
