The mention of my favorite cuisine reminds me of a riddle about this cuisine: "A flock of geese in a river, floating, falling." What is this?

In fact, this kind of food is not special, only that, in normal times, we can seldom taste it, but in the Spring Festival, especially on the first day of the Lunar New Year, every family can not do without it!

It is soup dumplings.

I love eating soup dumplings and watching them float in the water. I remember one time, my mother made me soup dumplings, I saw my mother first poured glutinous rice flour into the pot, mixed it with boiling water, kneaded it into a dough, and then each time I grabbed a small ball of dough from the dough, rounded it into a nest in my hand, then put sugar in the middle, and then rounded it into a ping-pong ball-sized shape, and then when the water in the pot boiled, I put it all down. When the water in the pot boiled, you put them all in. Mom put the lid on, and then there was only a long and anxious wait. The greedy me, often secretly open the lid to watch, only to see that a small white ball placed in the bottom of the water, not long, but there are a few first floated up, and then a few, and gradually, will float float, fall fall, is very cute.

Unconsciously, my mom nudged my nose with her flour-stained hand. I was already salivating at the sight of the dumplings in the pot. So, my mom got chopsticks and picked up a few floating dumplings from the pot, which were steaming hot, but I couldn't care less and hurriedly pinched one open with chopsticks and stuffed it into my mouth, which was hot, but the soft and sweet feeling was really good. I can't help but give my mom a thumbs up.

Mom told me that there are many kinds of fillings that can be wrapped in the soup dumplings, some of them put vegetables in the core of the dumplings, saying that it can prevent fire, and some people like to eat sweet, so they put some brown sugar into the core of the dumplings. As for people like to eat soup dumplings in the New Year, mom said, soup dumplings symbolize happiness and reunion, and its name even represents people's good wishes for life!
