The breath of New Year has faded, and the flavor of the Lantern Festival has quietly arrived. Eating Lantern Festival, guessing lantern riddles, setting firecrackers, and viewing lanterns has become a holiday habit of the people in the South and the North. Many southerners, like me, think that the Lantern Festival is to eat glutinous rice balls. In fact, there are certain differences between the Lantern Festival in the North and the glutinous rice balls in the South. Yes, making Lantern Festival is much more cumbersome than glutinous rice balls. First, you need to cut the reconciled and solidified filling into small pieces, and then throw it into the basket full of glutinous rice noodles, roll it, and sprinkle it with water. It's not until the filling is covered with glutinous rice noodles and rolled into a ball. After the Lantern Festival is cooked, the soup will be thicker, similar to glutinous rice noodle porridge, with a soft skin, hard fillings, and a strong fruity and rice fragrance. Therefore, there is a saying that "make dumplings and roll the Lantern Festival", and the Lantern Festival is "rolled" out.
The southern glutinous rice balls use "bao" as the auspicious meaning of reunion. First, mix glutinous rice flour and hot water into a ball, and let it "wake up" for a few hours. Then mix all the ingredients for the filling and put them in a large bowl for later use. The water content of glutinous rice ball filling is more than that of Yuanxiao, which is one of the differences between the two. And the fillings of southern dumplings are richer, sweet, salty, meat and vegetables can be matched. On the basis of traditional sweet fillings, add meat, fire, peanuts, rose sand and other fillings, and even add mustard. It completely breaks through the traditional glutinous rice balls.
But whether Yuanxiao or glutinous rice balls, the main ingredients are glutinous rice flour and sugar, and the fillings contain a lot of sugar and oil. 6 Yuanxiao and 1 bowl of rice. If you eat glutinous rice balls, you must eat less oil for the meal or on the day. It is advisable to eat less than 5 at a time, and no more than 10 for smaller ones. Children should reduce it even more. Special populations and certain chronic patients should pay special attention to reduction or taboos. When eating glutinous rice balls, they should be slower and chew carefully to avoid stomach discomfort.
