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:
If the fried "Yuanxiao" is raw, 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. (Food Guide Wu Guangque)
Eat yuanxiao in another way
Eating dumplings the old way is tasteless. I tried several new ways and recommended them to you when the Lantern Festival came.
Cooking yuanxiao in soup: to master the essentials of "cooking in water, cooking in water", push it slowly with a spoon to avoid sticking to the pot. When the water boils, you can add a little cold water to keep it rolling. Cook until the outside is burnt and tender, then put it in a bowl.
Fried yuanxiao: first heat the oil, and then gently turn the yuanxiao in the oil pan for a few times. When the Yuanxiao is completely expanded, take it out and sprinkle with sugar.
Lantern Festival: Smooth the bottom of the pot with oil, and then add sugar.
Boil it with appropriate amount of water to a thick paste. When the big bubble turns yellow, put the fried Yuanxiao into the pot, stir it with the sugar paste, quickly take it out of the pot and eat it while it is hot. At this time, the table is covered with gold thread.
Seasoning for Yuanxiao: First, stir-fry sesame seeds and grind them into powder, then put them in an oil pan and boil them into paste. Then put the fried dumplings into the pot and roll them evenly. Take it out of the pot and put it on a plate, spread it out one by one, and don't stick together. Both hot and cold are suitable.
Drunk Yuanxiao: Cook the special "Baizitou" Yuanxiao and put it in a bowl, then pour the cooked sweet wine into it. It's best to beat plumeria. Sweet and sour, soft and smooth, the wine is intoxicating, and the color, fragrance and taste are all available.
Bake Yuanxiao: Put Yuanxiao in an iron pan with cooking oil, bake in the oven until golden brown, take it out, put it in a small dish and sprinkle with white sugar. This is not only not greasy, but also fragrant and sweet. (Xinmin Evening News author Hua Yang)

Make yuanxiao
Yuanxiao is called by northerners and Tangyuan is called by southerners. According to the tradition in China, on the 15th day of the first lunar month, people will go to lanterns and temple fairs to eat Yuanxiao.
Lantern Festival originated in the Han Dynasty, and it is said that Zhou Bo and Chen Ping removed the influence of Lu, which happened to be the 15th day of the first month. In order to commemorate this day, Emperor Wen of Han went to the folk every year to have fun with the people, and designated this day as the Lantern Festival. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian listed the Lantern Festival as one of the folk festivals in taichu calendar law. During the Sui and Song Dynasties, there was a saying that "jiaozi in the Song Dynasty, lanterns in the Sui Dynasty". Yuanxiao in the north was called Prison Pill and Piaoyuan in the Song Dynasty, and Tangyuan, Yuanyuan and Tuanzi in the south. Eating Yuanxiao bodes well for the full moon. "Sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed with walnuts, rice like the Pearl River. See who is good at losing powder and try to sell Yuanxiao in the wind. " ("Shangyuan Zhi Zhu Ci")
Lantern Festival, also known as "Shangyuan Festival", is also the birthday of the "three officials and great emperors" in folk Taoism. It is blessed by the heavenly officials and great emperors, and "God blesses the people" comes into being. Taoist ternary theory is divided into upper, middle and lower Yuan festivals, and the three officials are in charge of heaven, earth and human beings. Because of Tianguan's joy, every household in the folk celebrated his birthday with lanterns and fireworks. Eating Yuanxiao on the Lantern Festival may have started in the Song Dynasty, when it was called "floating Zi Yuan", but it was renamed as "Yuanxiao" in the Ming Dynasty, and every household cooked and cooked Yuanxiao.
Compared with jiaozi in the south, Yuanxiao has the advantages of no crack and large size, but the disadvantages are thick and hard stuffing. Too much dry powder makes the soup paste, which is often turbid. Yuanxiao stuffing is diverse, white as snow, soft and moist, sweet and sour, and it is convenient and economical to eat.
Raw materials:
Flour, glutinous rice flour, sugar, walnut kernel, golden cake diced, melon seeds.
Production method:
● Put walnut kernel, diced gold cake, flour, sugar and melon seeds into a basin, add appropriate amount of cold water, mix them into stuffing, then make them into five square stuffing blocks and air them in a ventilated place for 24 hours.
● Soak the stuffing in cold water, roll it in glutinous rice noodles, dip it in cold water, roll it in glutinous rice noodles, and do this for four times, so that all glutinous rice noodles are stained with the stuffing, and the jiaozi is ready.
Bring boiling water to a big fire, put Yuanxiao into boiling water in batches, and push it to the bottom of the pot in one direction with a spoon. After the Lantern Festival floats, cook it with a small fire and sprinkle some cold water in the pot. When the Lantern Festival rises, the stuffing melts.
