One of the ways to fry Yuanxiao is to prick holes with toothpicks. That is to say, the raw Yuanxiao is pierced with a toothpick and then fried in the oil pan.

The specific way is to use a toothpick to make a few small holes on the surface of Yuanxiao, and gently make holes, 2 or 3 holes will do. Then put all the dumplings in the pot and fry them. When the oil in the pot bubbles, take them out.

There must be enough oil, so as to ensure that the Lantern Festival can float and be heated evenly, otherwise it will burst if it is heated unevenly. When the oil is heated to 70% or 80% heat, you can enter the Lantern Festival again, which can ensure the beautiful shape of the Lantern Festival, that is, the fire will finalize the design. Then turn to a small fire, and it must be a small fire. Yuanxiao is relatively large and not easy to cook.
