Various methods of making and eating "Yuanxiao"
Southerners make "Yuanxiao", first add water and flour to glutinous rice flour to make skin, and then "wrap" the stuffing; Northerners make "Yuanxiao". First, they rolled the stuffing into a uniform ball and put it in a basket covered with dried glutinous rice flour, shaking it constantly. They add water from time to time to make the stuffing stick more glutinous rice flour until the size is moderate. Yuanxiao comes in different sizes, ranging from walnuts to soybeans.
Cooking "Yuanxiao" also has skills: gently pinch it. Before cooking, gently pinch the "Yuanxiao" with your hands to make it crack slightly, so that the "Yuanxiao" made in this way is easy to cook inside and outside, soft and delicious.
Boil water. After the water in the pot is boiled, put it in Yuanxiao, gently push it away with the back of the spoon, and let Yuanxiao rotate a few times, so as not to stick to the bottom of the pot.
Cook gently. After "Yuanxiao" is cooked in the pot until it floats, it should be quickly switched to slow fire. Otherwise, "Yuanxiao" will keep turning, the heat will be uneven, the outside will be hard, and the inside will not be delicious.
Order cold water. After the "Yuanxiao" is put into the pot, an appropriate amount of cold water should be added every time the pot is boiled to keep it tumbling instead of tumbling. After two or three times, cook for a while and then take it out to eat. The "Yuanxiao" cooked in this way is soft but not hard, sweet and delicious.
Besides cooking, there are many ways to eat Yuanxiao:
Fried "Yuanxiao"? Nbsp; If it is Yuanxiao, you can paste it with egg white first, and then fry it in the pot. The "Yuanxiao" fried in this way smells like eggs. When frying, turn it constantly to avoid uneven frying. When frying "Yuanxiao", it sometimes happens that "Yuanxiao" suddenly bursts open and splashes people in the oil pan. This phenomenon can be prevented if two small pinholes are pierced on the "Yuanxiao" with a needle before it is cooked. In addition, when frying, use a small fire to warm the oil, so that the fried "Yuanxiao" is sweet and delicious, and the skin is crisp and waxy.
Draw "Yuanxiao" and fry it for later use. Slide cooking oil on the bottom of the pot, add sugar and appropriate amount of water, and boil it with slow fire to make syrup. When the syrup is yellow, add the fried "Yuanxiao", stir it with the syrup, quickly take it out of the pot and eat it while it is hot, just like a golden bead wrapped in silk, which is not interesting.
Dress for Yuanxiao. Stir-fry sesame seeds and grind them into powder, put them into a pot with thick sugar paste, then pour them into the fried "Yuanxiao", roll them evenly, take them out of the pot and put them on a plate, spread them out one by one, and don't stick to each other. Suitable for cold food and hot food.
Steaming "Yuanxiao" Put "Yuanxiao" into a pan or metal pot with a layer of oil, steam it in the pot, take it out and sprinkle with soft sugar. The food is fragrant and delicious, and the method is convenient and easy.
Bake "Yuanxiao" Put "Yuanxiao" in a metal plate with bottom oil, put it in the oven, bake it until it is golden and cooked, take it out and put it on the plate, and serve with soft sugar. It tastes sweet and fragrant.
