Yuanxiao English: rice balls

Yuanxiao is a round food made of glutinous rice flour. It can be divided into solid and solid. The filling can be sweet or salty. Sweet fillings generally include lard bean paste, white sugar sesame, osmanthus assorted, jujube paste, nuts, syrup, almonds, ginkgo, hawthorn and so on; Salty stuffing generally includes fresh meat, ham, shrimp and so on. The Lantern Festival includes mustard, onion, garlic, leek and ginger.

It is called "Five Spiced Lantern Festival", which means hard work and long-term progress.

The custom of Lantern Festival is based on stuffing. The general practice is to mix the fillings first, then spread them into large round blocks, cool them and cut them into cubes smaller than table tennis. Then put the stuffing into the machine like a big sieve, pour the rice noodles in and "sieve" it. As the fillings collide with each other into spheres, glutinous rice also touches the surface of the fillings, forming the Lantern Festival.
