Jiaozi with minced meat, glutinous rice balls, which is delicious?

Dragon Boat Festival, Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are also called the four traditional festivals in China. Legend has it that it is a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan, a great poet in the Warring States Period. Eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival is a tradition handed down by ancestors, just like eating jiaozi in Spring Festival, having a reunion dinner in Tomb-Sweeping Day and eating moon cakes in Mid-Autumn Festival, all of which are the crystallization of working people's wisdom. China has a vast territory and rich natural resources. There is a great difference in diet between the south and the north. The same food will have different ways, tastes and ways to eat.

Zongzi is an indispensable traditional food for the Dragon Boat Festival. On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, the shelves in the supermarket are full of dazzling things, and all kinds of zongzi gift boxes are dazzling. Northerners prefer sweet zongzi, while southerners prefer meat zongzi, forming a pattern of salty in the south and sweet in the north, but it does not rule out that some southerners like sweet zongzi and northerners like meat zongzi.

As an out-and-out northerner, I liked to eat sweet zongzi the year before last, because when I was a child, there were only sweet zongzi, jujube zongzi, candied jujube zongzi, peanut zongzi and white zongzi in my hometown, which were soaked in cold water, peeled off to reveal glistening zongzi, sprinkled with white sugar and rose water, chilled and very delicious, but the zongzi sold were usually very small and thin, I didn't know that.

A friend I've never met in Guangzhou sent me jiaozi, her own stuffed meat, which was packed in two layers of vacuum, with egg yolk and meat in it. At first, I was a little disgusted with jiaozi, but after eating one, I found that jiaozi was so delicious that it got out of hand. Every time I arrive at the Dragon Boat Festival, I will wrap some dumplings myself and then buy some famous southern meat dumplings. Only in this way can the Dragon Boat Festival have a festive atmosphere.

If you want to ask me which is better, glutinous rice balls or meatballs, I want to say that both are delicious. The key is to try something you haven't eaten. Maybe you will find that the one you didn't like before is actually very good.

Conclusion: Whether it's sweet or meaty jiaozi, it's best to choose what you like. Follow your heart.
