Glutinous rice and lotus roots are very suitable for festive tables. The lotus root is soft and glutinous, with a sweet aftertaste. It is said that this dish was originally a special dish of the Mid-Autumn Festival. "Lian" and "Lotus root" mean "lian" and "dual", which means pairs, reunion and harmony. In Chinese culture, the meaning of this simple dish has far exceeded the taste of the dish itself, and it is a "Chinese etiquette dish". Try dishes for the recipes for the Spring Festival, and let the reunion family banquet start with sweetness. "
