Speaking of Chinese New Year, of course, we have to eat glutinous rice balls, the steaming bowl of glutinous rice balls on the morning of the first day of the new year, and the glutinous rice balls symbolize the new year and the beauty, reunion, and sweetness.
I remembered a riddle about this delicacy: "A flock of geese in the river floats and falls." What is this? In fact, this kind of delicacy is not special, but we rarely can taste it in normal times, but every household eats it on the Lantern Festival.
I love to eat glutinous rice balls and watch it float in the water. I remember when I was a child, I saw my mother making glutinous rice balls, I saw my mother first poured the glutinous rice noodles into a basin, mixed with water, kneaded it into a dough, and then grabbed a small ball of noodles from the dough every time and held it in her hand. Round them into a nest, then put sesame filling in the middle, and then round them into a ping-pong ball shape. After the water in the pot is boiled, put them all down. Mom closed the lid, and there was only an anxious and long wait. I am greedy, often uncovering the lid secretly, and I saw the white balls placed under the water. After a while, a few floated up first, followed by a few more, and gradually, they floated. It floated and fell. It was very cute. I put the glutinous rice balls in my mouth, and the tender and soft glutinous rice balls jumped up and down in my mouth. After one bite, the sesame seeds inside immediately came out. The sesame that is sweeter than honey and the soft glutinous rice ball skin are slowly swallowed into the belly. This taste is really wonderful, as if the breath that comes out also brings a hint of sesame fragrance. This feeling is so wonderful, it makes people never get tired of eating..."
