1. Fry the red peanuts in a wok, let cool and set aside.
2. Peel the peanuts after cooling.
3. Crush the peanut kernels with a rolling pin.
4. Because the green and red silk my dad bought this time was very wet, we spread it out and dried it two days in advance.
5. Chop the dried green and red silk.
6. Mix the green and red silk, peanut kernels and sugar in a ratio of 1:1:3.
7. Mix the glutinous rice flour into a soft dough with warm water.
8. Pull a small piece from the dough, dip some dry glutinous rice flour on the palm of your hand, and round it. While holding the small noodle ball with your left hand, slowly rotate it, and follow the direction of rotation with the index finger of your right hand to push out a hole in the center of the small noodle ball. Be careful not to make the surrounding dough too thick.
9. Stuff the mixed Yuanxiao stuffing in the small pit, slowly close the mouth, and round it.
10. Sprinkle dry glutinous rice flour on the plate, and put the rubbed Yuanxiao on the dry flour to prevent sticking to the plate.
11. On the morning of the Lunar New Year, after boiling the water, put the raw Lantern Festival in the hot water, and sprinkle in the wolfberry when it rises. After the wolfberry becomes soft, remove it, and finally sprinkle a little dried osmanthus.
