First, the difference in taste

Tangyuan: Tangyuan is not only sweet, but also salty, both filled and unfilled. Among them, the salty dumplings are basically salty without stuffing in the middle; The stuffing-free solid dumplings are very light, but only a small amount of sugar is added to the soup, which is not as greasy as sesame and peanut stuffing, and is suitable for people who are afraid of oil.

Yuanxiao: The biggest feature is sweetness. There are relatively few kinds of fillings, mainly black sesame seeds, five kernels, bean paste, etc., plus some sugar.

Second, the difference in taste

Tangyuan: The skin is strong and the stuffing is chewy. The boiled soup will be sticky, which is a bit like drinking rice soup.

Yuanxiao: The skin is smooth and the taste is delicate. Because there is a lot of water in the stuffing, the stuffing will flow out like quicksand at the moment when the dumplings are bitten. Besides, the soup cooked with glutinous rice balls is clearer than Yuanxiao.
