After buying Yuanxiao, you must cook it well to make it delicious and beautiful. There are some tips that cannot be ignored. You must master the following tips when cooking Yuanxiao:

1. Pinch gently. Before putting it in the pot, gently squeeze the Yuanxiao with your hands to make it slightly cracked. This way, the cooked Yuanxiao will be easy to cook inside and outside, soft and delicious.

2. Under boiling water. Use high heat to boil the water, then put the dumplings into the pot, gently push them open with the back of a spoon, and let the dumplings rotate a few times so that they will not stick to the bottom of the pot.

3. Simmer. After putting the Yuanxiao in the pot and cooking it until it floats, you should quickly switch to a slow fire. If you still cook it on a high fire at this time, the Yuanxiao will break if it keeps rolling. If the dumplings are constantly turned, they will be heated unevenly and may become hard on the outside and hard on the inside.

4. Order some cold water. After the Yuanxiao is put into the pot, add an appropriate amount of cold water every time it is boiled to keep it in a rolling state. After boiling it for two or three times, boil it for a while, then take it out and eat it. The Yuanxiao cooked in this way is soft but not hard, sweet and delicious.

5. Change the soup frequently. If you need to cook a large amount of Yuanxiao, the soup will thicken after two or three pots of Yuanxiao, which greatly restricts the movement of water molecules. You should change the water before cooking. Otherwise, it will cook slowly and become raw easily.

6. Order some coconut sauce. If you add some coconut paste when cooking Yuanxiao, the Yuanxiao will not stick to each other.

In addition, in addition to cooking Yuanxiao, some people also like to fry the endless Yuanxiao and eat it. Although fried Yuanxiao is crispier, deep-frying will make Yuanxiao, which has a high fat content, have a higher proportion of fat and increase energy, making it a less healthy food. Therefore, fried yuanxiao is not advisable from a nutritional point of view. Don’t sacrifice health for taste.
