Speaking of Yuanxiao, many people think that glutinous rice balls are Yuanxiao. In fact, Yuanxiao and Tangyuan are actually two things, although there is little difference in raw materials and appearance. Let's learn about the difference between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan! For the eating methods of Yuanxiao and Tangyuan, the healthier eating method is still boiling or steaming, and when eating, it is recommended to drink more soup for cooking Yuanxiao or Tangyuan.

The method of making glutinous rice balls is a bit like wrapping jiaozi: first, add water to glutinous rice noodles and make them into balls (the same as when making jiaozi), and let them "wake up" for a few hours. Then mix all the ingredients for stuffing and put them in a big bowl for use (you don't have to cut them into small pieces like Yuanxiao). The water content of dumpling stuffing is more than that of Yuanxiao, which is one of the differences between them.
