Can Yuanxiao be fried and eaten? How to fry Yuanxiao without frying it?

Yuanxiao was originally eaten on the fifteenth night of the first month, but now people's living standards have improved and they can eat it whenever they want. Many people like Yuanxiao very much, especially black sesame seeds and peanuts, but I wonder if frying Yuanxiao is feasible.

Can Yuanxiao be fried and eaten?

You can eat it fried.

Fried food takes oil as the heat exchange medium, which makes the starch in fried food gelatinize, protein denature, and the water turn into steam, so that the food becomes hot and cooked or becomes semi-conditioned food. Common fried dough sticks, oil cakes and twisted dough are all pasta, and Yuanxiao is also a traditional pasta snack made of glutinous rice, which can be fried and eaten.

However, we should pay attention to the high calorie of fried Yuanxiao. Don't eat more, so as not to affect your body, and don't fry at high temperature repeatedly, so as not to produce toxic and harmful substances, which is not good for your health.

Can frozen yuanxiao be fried directly?

I can't.

It needs to be thawed before frying, because if the frozen Yuanxiao is directly put into a high-temperature oil pan, it will lead to hot and cold stimulation and make Yuanxiao burst. Frozen Yuanxiao is best thawed first, which can be placed at room temperature for 4 hours or in the microwave oven for 2 minutes.

Do you want to cook the fried dumplings before frying them?

Boil it before frying it.

Because the raw Yuanxiao is directly fried in oil, it will produce gas, which will lead to the explosion of Yuanxiao. When cooking and frying, all the gas can be exhausted, so jiaozi will naturally not explode when frying, and jiaozi will be more brittle when eating.
