When it comes to Lantern Festival, many people think that soup dumplings are Lantern Festival. In fact, although there is not much difference in raw materials and appearance, the actual dumplings and dumplings are two things. As both the snacks and dumplings are made of glutinous rice flour for the skin, and often use sesame seeds, sugar and other fillings, so it is easy to confuse people, but they are still very different in the production process!

Yuanxiao in the production than the dumplings to be much more cumbersome: first of all, the filling and good, solidified filling cut into small pieces, over the water once again, and then thrown into a colander full of glutinous rice flour roll, and then over the water, continue to return to the colander to roll, and repeated several times until the filling is full of glutinous rice flour rolled into a round ball before the great success due to the production process is different, Yuanxiao than the dumplings to be a bit thicker in texture. After cooking, the soup will be thicker, like glutinous rice noodle porridge, with a soft skin and a hard filling that has a "bite", and a strong fruity and rice aroma.

The practice of soup dumplings is a bit like wrapping dumplings: first, add water to the glutinous rice flour and make a dough (the same as when making dumplings and noodles), and then pull out a small group of wet noodles with your hands, and then squeeze them into the shape of a round piece. Pick a ball of filling on the glutinous rice sheet, and then use both hands to turn the edge of the mouth to make dumplings.
