The practice of Yuanxiao and Tangyuan is different. The stuffing of Yuanxiao is hard. First spread the stuffing into a round cake, then cut it into small cubes, and then shake it in a sieve filled with glutinous rice flour, sprinkling water while shaking it. When it is big enough, Yuanxiao will be ready. But dumplings are wrapped, just like jiaozi, with glutinous rice balls.

Selection of Yuanxiao and Tangyuan:

1, choose a brand. Try to choose the products of brand enterprises with large scale and good product quality and service quality. These enterprises have strong technical force, strict quality control of raw materials, advanced production equipment, strict process control and guaranteed product quality.

2. Look at the storage conditions. At present, most of the products sold in supermarkets are quick-frozen glutinous rice balls and Yuanxiao. Quick-frozen products should be sold under frozen conditions. Never buy products with frost or ice slag. Frost or ice slag indicates that the storage temperature of the products is unstable, which will easily lead to an increase in the acid value of the products, and will also make the microorganisms of the products exceed the standard, which will have a great impact on the product quality.

3. Look at the appearance. A good glutinous rice dumpling, Yuanxiao, is uniform in color, basically round in shape, basically the same in size, uniform in thickness of the cortex, without stuffing, cracks, impurities visible to the naked eye and mildew spots. Bad products are dull and uneven in color, with different characters and sizes, and some are cracked and exposed.

4, by taste. A good glutinous rice dumpling, the skin is sticky, the color is white, and the stuffing is delicate; No rancidity, no odor. Poor quality glutinous rice balls are rough and inelastic, and their taste is often too sweet or oily.
