Then, the question is, how can we cook Yuanxiao soft, waxy and without breaking the skin? In fact, it's very simple. Just remember the following three points and make sure that your jiaozi is not stuffed or broken!

Why do you say don't boil Yuanxiao with boiling water?

What's the difference between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan?
Many friends boiled Yuanxiao with boiling water, and the fire was cooked until the end! In fact, this is prone to two problems. First, Yuanxiao is easy to crack, because it is basically put in the refrigerator when it is bought home, so it is in a low temperature when it is taken out for cooking. When it comes to high-temperature boiling water, the skin is easy to crack! The second is the Lantern Festival, which is cooked to the end with fire. The taste is not soft or crisp, but it becomes powder and it is easily broken!
So, remember not to cook Yuanxiao with boiling water, let alone with fire all the time! The correct method should be the following three points!
Boil Yuanxiao, with boiled water, and cold water stick to the pot! So the correct way is to cook in a pot with warm water! The warm water here means that the water has been bubbling, but it has not boiled. This is the right time to enter the Lantern Festival! In this way, Yuanxiao will not crack because the water temperature is too high, nor will it sink to the bottom and stick to the pot because the water temperature is too low!
Is the water temperature the same for cooking fresh Yuanxiao and refrigerating Yuanxiao?
If it is a fresh Yuanxiao just bought on the 15th day of the first month, instead of buying a refrigerated Yuanxiao in advance, the water temperature will be the same when cooking! However, fresh and frozen Yuanxiao should pay attention to these two points in the cooking process:
Cooking fresh Yuanxiao: cover the boiled skin and lift the boiled stuffing;
Cooking refrigerated Yuanxiao: cover the pot to cook the stuffing and cover the pot to cook the skin.
However, many friends don't know what slow fire is. For our domestic natural gas, when the switch is turned to the sign, fire is the biggest fire. Look, there is a fire on the stove at this time! Slow fire is the second gear in natural gas, with fire in the middle and fire in the periphery. And the small fire is the smallest one!
Note: Cooking Yuanxiao is similar to cooking jiaozi, and both need some cold water! After putting warm water into the pot, gently push Yuanxiao with a spoon. When the water is boiling, order cold water once, usually 2-3 times. After all the floats, the Lantern Festival will be cooked!
Many friends make Yuanxiao very well, but when they are out of the pot, they fish Yuanxiao into pieces! In fact, the main reason for fishing broken skin is that the tools are not used correctly! Many friends are used to fishing with a colander, and it is the colander that smashed the Lantern Festival!
Because the cooked Yuanxiao has softened and the colander has holes. After the skin of Yuanxiao is boiled soft, it will immerse into these holes due to its own gravity. When we pour it into the bowl, it will cut the skin! The correct way is to scoop it with a spoon and bring a little soup when you scoop it, so that the Lantern Festival will be round and not broken.
Yuanxiao and Tangyuan give people the impression that they are a kind of food, but in fact they just have different names! In fact, there is a difference between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan!
1. Make Yuanxiao, solidify the stuffing, cut it into small pieces, water it once, then throw it into a basket full of glutinous rice flour, and sprinkle water while rolling until the stuffing is wrapped with glutinous rice flour and rolled into a ball. Moreover, glutinous rice balls are cooked and kneaded into stuffing and then made of wet powder!
2, the Lantern Festival can be refrigerated at most, not frozen! Because the Lantern Festival will crack if it is frozen! When cooked, it will burst! Therefore, Yuanxiao should be eaten once a year! And jiaozi can be frozen for a long time! This is also the biggest difference between glutinous rice balls and Yuanxiao!
