I think the black pork rice dumplings from Ding'an, Hainan, are the most delicious. I have eaten long gray water rice dumplings from Guangdong, colorful rice dumplings from Yunnan Buyi, Beijing bean paste rice dumplings, etc.

Eating rice dumplings is of course indispensable during the Dragon Boat Festival. Chinese cuisine is extensive and profound, and there are naturally many types of rice dumplings. Moreover, due to regional differences, the appearance and taste of rice dumplings are completely different.

For example, southerners prefer salty rice dumplings, while northerners prefer sweet rice dumplings.

As for which one is more delicious, you still need to decide according to your own taste.

Guangzhou's long gray water rice dumplings are very distinctive. You need to burn a plant into ashes to make alkaline water, then put the glutinous rice in it and soak it completely. At this time, the color of the glutinous rice will gradually turn to light yellow. Use rice dumpling leaves to remove it.

The glutinous rice is wrapped into long strips with four corners, so there is no need to add too much filling.

However, this kind of gray water rice dumplings may have a bitter taste when eaten directly. Local people usually eat them with brown sugar.

Beijing bean paste rice dumplings are actually very representative. They are larger and usually have a triangular or rectangular shape. People who like sweet food must try it.

There is a colorful rice dumpling in Yunnan that is a local specialty and is very attractive just to look at.

Although this kind of rice dumplings looks colorful, it actually does not contain any flavoring or coloring. Its colors all come from natural plants in nature.

The local people will use red sorghum, liquidambar leaves, dense flowers and other plants to make it. The juice will dye the glutinous rice into red, yellow, purple, black, plus the white of the glutinous rice itself, just to make up the five colors.

These colors symbolize a happy and auspicious life.

The taste of Hainan's Ding'an black pork rice dumplings is simply unparalleled. The locals have very strict requirements when making this kind of rice dumplings. First of all, the rice dumpling leaves must be grown in the volcanic area of ??Ding'an County, and the glutinous rice must be selenium-rich glutinous rice from the same place.

, the fillings are Ding’an black pork and salted duck egg yolk.

Precisely because the requirements for selecting raw materials are so strict, this kind of rice dumplings has become a major local specialty, and many tourists even choose to taste it before and after the Dragon Boat Festival.
