After the Lantern Festival, how can you get dumplings less? Southerners like to eat dumplings, mainly to pray for family reunion. Nowadays, people eat dumplings, that is, they go to the supermarket to buy a bag of dumplings and cook them at home, and then everyone eats them together. There are very few dumplings made by hand. However, the practice of eating glutinous rice balls at Yuanxiao has survived. Boiling dumplings in water is the simplest way and the healthiest way to eat them.

Second, eat jiaozi.

On Lantern Festival, southerners like to eat jiaozi, while northerners have the habit of eating jiaozi, such as Henan. Therefore, jiaozi is also a kind of food that Yuanxiao often eats. Jiaozi, a folk food with a long history in China, is deeply loved by ordinary people. Of course, jiaozi is not the only food for the Lantern Festival.

Third, bean dough

Besides glutinous rice balls and jiaozi, there is also bean dough, which is also a popular food in the Lantern Festival. Especially Kunming people love to eat. The way to do this is to fry the beans and grind them, then make them into balls and cook them with water, and they taste good.

Fourth, eat lettuce

Lettuce, perhaps many people say, is often eaten at ordinary times. What does this Lantern Festival have to do with it? In fact, eating lettuce on Lantern Festival is a favorite of Cantonese people. Lettuce cooked with cakes is a good food, and it also expresses people's good omen for the festival. From the name of lettuce, it can be homophonic for making money, so lettuce is an auspicious thing that symbolizes wealth and good luck.

Fifth, drink Yuanxiao tea.

Drinking Yuanxiao tea is a custom in some places in Shaanxi, that is, putting all kinds of vegetables and fruits in hot soup noodles. This kind of Yuanxiao tea is rich in nutrition, which helps people to alleviate the problem of eating more meat during the Spring Festival.
