The day after tomorrow is the solstice of winter. What are the delicious recommendations?

When it comes to winter food on solstice, are jiaozi and glutinous rice balls your first reaction? If your first reaction is jiaozi, you are 90% northerners, and if you are glutinous rice balls, you are 90% southerners. Suddenly, I learned a good skill of distinguishing north from south, right?

People in Taizhou, Zhejiang like to eat delicious food. It is an old tradition in Taizhou to eat "the Japanese yen in winter" (also called hard rolling and rough turning). "The Japanese yen in winter" is also called rolling, hard rolling and rough turning, which means round, round, moist and reunion.

Rolling is the highlight of the winter solstice. Compared with jiaozi, the winter solstice in Linhai is not only rich in content, but also meaningful.

Rolling is to knead glutinous rice flour and warm water into dough, then pick it into a round shape with a moderate size, and roll it in bean flour after cooking. Because this process is called "rolling" in Linhai dialect, the solstice in winter is called "rolling".

With a round wrapped in bean powder, I took a bite while it was hot. Delicious, sweet, warm and soft, a taste of happiness comes to mind. In addition to the classic dumplings, many families also like the salty dumplings on Sunday. Salted dumplings are stuffed with dumplings, similar to pork, dried tofu, winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, carrots and white radish. It can be steamed or boiled, fresh and juicy, and has a unique flavor.
