Are rice dumplings sweet or salty?

This discussion about the sweet and salty debate between tofu nao actually originated from an unintentional complaint by Wang Yishu. Wang Yishu's hometown is Liaoning and he now works in Guangzhou. After settling in Guangzhou, I haven't eaten zongzi from my hometown for many years. It is a simple sweet brown rice dumpling made of white glutinous rice and dried dates wrapped in brown leaves. After the Dragon Boat Festival, he missed the rice dumplings from his hometown again, so he posted on Weibo: "Is it difficult to put only glutinous rice and red dates in the rice dumplings?" Later, the rice dumplings talked about tofu nao, and Weibo started. There was a big discussion about the dietary differences between the North and the South.

There are also differences between the north and the south when it comes to the taste of rice dumplings. Northerners like to eat sweet rice dumplings, while southerners like to eat meaty rice dumplings. Netizen "Dark Eyes Xinyue" said: "In the north, candied dates are put in rice dumplings. They think eating bacon rice dumplings is super perverted... Oh my god, eating candied pork rice dumplings is disgusting!" while netizen "Hydrating and Clear" said: I tried the bacon and chestnut rice dumplings, which a friend brought all the way from Wuhan. They were very kind but hard to swallow.

The two netizens also argued back and forth over the salty and sweetness of the rice dumplings. "Wojiawofei" said: Tofu brains only add sugar, so why eat tofu brains? It’s all over with sugar. This may be the same as rice dumplings. I can't accept meat rice dumplings at all, and bean paste is the best. "Please call me Ashu" is the complete opposite: I will vomit when I eat rice dumplings with red bean paste, and they feel dry and unpalatable. "Wojiawofei" replied: Meat dumplings are disgusting. Thinking about them makes me sick. Is the gap between North and South really that big? "Please call me Ashu" continued to retort: ??No matter, rice dumplings with red bean paste are disgusting, rice dumplings with red bean paste are more delicious.

Is soy milk sweet or salty?

The issue of the saltiness and sweetness of tofu nao has been vigorously debated. Some netizens believe that the issue of the salty and sweetness of soy milk is also worthy of discussion.

"Pan Rui-Tommy" said: It is very interesting that a question about the taste of tofu brain has triggered such a large-scale discussion on the differences between the North and the South. This reminds me of an issue that my wife and I have discussed many times: not only tofu curd, but also soy milk, there seems to be such a salty and sweet difference between the north and the south. Do you think soy milk should be salty or sweet? Let me confess first: I cannot tolerate sweet soy milk, and I only like to eat Nanjing-style salty and spicy tofu.

And "Feng Jiewen" said: Just like soy milk, it must be seasoned with sugar. There should be no mention of salt. There will definitely be differences if you eat differently.

Lin Lizhong gave a different answer to netizen "Feng Jiewen". He is from Ningbo and currently works in Beijing. He said that what he misses most is the soy milk in his hometown. "I grew up eating it. It's very simple. I just put soy sauce, crushed fried dough sticks, sprinkled with dried shrimps in a bowl, then pour the soy milk in, stir it, and the color will immediately turn chocolate color. It's delicious and delicious." He Unfortunately, most of what we eat in Beijing is sweetened soy milk.

The netizen "Summer Trip" confirmed Lin Lizhong's statement: "I am from Zhejiang, and I have been drinking salty soy milk since I was a child. And we here generally like to drink salty soy milk and like sweet soy milk. There are relatively few people."

Are glutinous rice balls sweet or salty?

Ma Lin is from Sichuan. He came to Shanghai to study at university when he was 18 years old. "That was my first time. I know for the first time that glutinous rice balls are actually salty.”

Netizen “jennykingjing” said: Netizens from the north and the south are debating whether tofu curd should be salty or sweet... In fact, there is still debate about whether glutinous rice balls should be salty or sweet. Salty or sweet, should the zongzi be salty or sweet, etc. I remember when I first heard that glutinous rice balls were salty, I really felt like vomiting.

Yu Xinyue was born in a suburb of Shanghai. In her hometown, there are two ways to make glutinous rice balls: salty and sweet. The salty one is made with vegetables and meat, and the sweet one is made with bean paste, sesame, etc. "But what I like to eat more is salty." Yu Xinyue lived in Beijing for two years due to work. During that time, all she ate was sweet glutinous rice balls. "At that time, I missed the vegetable and meat glutinous rice balls in my hometown very much." ."
