Yuanxiao is a round food made of glutinous rice flour. Yuanxiao is a favorite food among Chinese people. The general process is to mix the fillings first, mix them well and then spread them into large round slices, let them cool and then cut them into cubes smaller than ping pong balls. Then put the stuffing pieces into a machine like a large sieve, pour in glutinous rice flour, and sift it up. As the fillings collide with each other and turn into balls, glutinous rice also sticks to the surface of the fillings to form Yuanxiao.
