What snacks do Shanghainese eat during the Spring Festival in the 1990s?
Shanghainese call Yuanxiao "Tangyuan" or "Yuanzi" or "Tuanzi". It is made by kneading glutinous rice flour into a ball and then wrapping it with sweet stuffing or meat stuffing. In the rural areas of counties and districts to which Shanghai belongs, there is also a kind of "shepherd's purse dumpling". Don't have flavor. The glutinous rice dumplings made at the Lantern Festival in Songjiang County, Shanghai, are boiled in soup and steamed. Most of the boiled dumplings are filled with fresh meat or sugar. Steamed stuffing is mostly vegetarian, and besides shepherd's purse, there are fillings such as shredded radish, hundred fruits and sesame seeds.
