Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Taking advantage of the weekend, I packed some purple sweet potato Lantern Festival. On this day of the year, we will eat Yuanxiao according to the custom. When I was young, it was my mother who brought us the glutinous rice flour we processed to wrap the Bai Yuanxiao together; it was the kind without fillings.
With the continuous economic development, there are no such glutinous rice flour processing points in the community, so I have to go to the grain station to buy the glutinous rice flour in bags and return the package; then the planned economy was changed to a market economy, the grain station was gone, and the supermarket appeared; we I became lazier and more enjoyable. During the Lantern Festival, I never thought about making glutinous rice balls by myself. I picked up the frozen dumplings with stuffing directly from the supermarket.
But since last year, I started to pack the Lantern Festival by myself again. Because there is no stone mill, you can only buy glutinous rice flour in bags. The difference from childhood is that the filling is added; instead of adding the greasy black sesame filling; instead, it is changed to light purple potato filling; it can be eaten with some white sugar or eaten directly. It is soft and waxy, chewing It's full of energy, it feels much better than the machine package~`~

11. Boil cold water in a pot

12. Then gently throw part of the purple sweet potato yuanxiao into the pot, use a wooden spatula to gently rotate it two times along the edge of the pot (to reduce stickiness), then cover the high heat

13. After the water is boiled again, add a small amount of water for the second time and turn to medium heat.

14. Bring the soup in the pot to the boil again, boil the pot for another 1~2 minutes, and see that the glutinous rice balls are all floating, indicating that the glutinous rice balls are cooked, turn off the heat

Tips:
1. When making noodles, pay attention to the amount of water and add it while kneading until the softness and hardness are right.
2. After rubbing the Lantern Festival, you need to roll some dry powder and place it on the chopping board to prevent sticking

5. You can change other fillings as you like
6. Lantern Festival is sticky food at one time, do not eat too much, so as not to eat too much and difficult to digest
