About the introduction of glutinous rice balls, the origin of glutinous rice balls

1, Tangyuan, also known as Tangtuan and Fuyuanzi, is one of the representatives of traditional snacks of the Han nationality. At the same time, it is also the most distinctive food in the traditional Lantern Festival in China, and it also expresses the yearning and expectation of the ancient people for a happy life. According to legend, Tangyuan originated in the Song Dynasty. At that time, a novel food appeared in Mingzhou (now Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province), which was made of black sesame seeds and pork suet, with a little sugar added, and kneaded with glutinous rice flour outside. After cooking, the taste is sweet and soft, with endless aftertaste. At the same time, glutinous rice balls symbolize family reunion, and eating glutinous rice balls also means family happiness and reunion in the New Year, so it is a must-have food for the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month.

2. Tangyuan itself is sweet, and there is no need to add sugar to the soup to reduce calorie intake; If it is a small dumpling without stuffing, the soup can be replaced by osmanthus, liqueur, scented tea, longan red date soup and longan ginger soup, which can play a role in tonifying the body and dispelling cold; When making salty dumplings, you can add some vegetables to increase the cellulose. I can't help but want to take a big bite in the face of the hot and fragrant jiaozi. All ages should pay special attention. Remember to eat jiaozi slowly so as not to choke my throat or trachea. Because glutinous rice balls contain a lot of sugar, while sesame seeds, fresh meat and peanuts contain high fat and calories, they must be eaten in small amounts, not too much at a time.
