The boiled Yuanxiao is white, while the fried Yuanxiao is golden brown.

Introduction to the cooking method of Lantern Festival:

1. Add glutinous rice flour and half a bowl of water in a large bowl, stir and knead into a ball, then shape out a ball like the one in my hand, add water first Cook (float) inside, then throw it back into the original dough and knead evenly.

2. I forgot to take pictures of the minced meat. I only had beef minced meat at home, so I made beef minced meat. However, I had only eaten pork minced meat at home before. I added a green onion and a little minced ginger (for fear that the beef filling would be a bit fishy) and three tablespoons of dark soy sauce.

3. Then flatten. However, during the process of making it, I remembered that my mother always shaped it into a small bowl. After trying it, I found that you can put more meat in the bowl shape.

4. Stuff the meat. It's almost like a dumpling when wrapped. The first time my roommate made it for me, she asked her to make it like a dumpling. When it was rounded, they were all the same and I couldn’t tell which one was made by who.

5. Boil some water until it boils, then throw the dumplings in one by one and stir gently with the back of a spoon to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
