Quick-frozen glutinous rice balls can be steamed and eaten. The method of steaming is: put an appropriate amount of cold water in the pot, then boil, put the glutinous rice balls into the pot, and steam for about 10 minutes. When steaming glutinous rice balls, be sure to wait until the water in the steamer boils before adding the glutinous rice balls, so that the steamed glutinous rice balls will have a fuller shape.

Tangyuan is one of the representative snacks of Han Chinese with a long history. It originated in the Song Dynasty. At that time, Mingzhou started to eat a novel food, which was made of black sesame, lard, and white sugar. The outside was rolled into a round shape with glutinous rice flour. After being cooked, it tasted sweet, delicious, and interesting. Because this kind of glutinous rice ball floats and sinks when cooked in a pot, it was first called "Floating Yuanzi". Later, in some areas, "Floating Yuanzi" was renamed Yuanxiao. The Lantern Festival symbolizes family reunion, and eating the Lantern Festival symbolizes family happiness and all the best in the new year.
