1. The difference in appearance: First of all, everyone can tell the difference from the appearance. Triangular rice dumplings, as the name suggests, have three corners, just like the triangles we usually see. The four-corner rice dumplings have one more edge than the triangular rice dumplings, so the shape is a bit like the rectangle you usually see. So from the appearance point of view, they are very different, and you can easily tell whether it is a triangular rice dumpling or a four-corner rice dumpling.
2. Different wrapping methods: Since one is a triangular rice dumpling and the other is a four-cornered rice dumpling, there must be a difference between the two in terms of wrapping method. Wrapping triangular rice dumplings is relatively simple. Just stack two rice dumpling leaves together, then roll the bottom into a cone shape, stuff the filling in, and cover the top. Then fold the two sides in and wrap it with a rope, so that three corners come out, which is a very simple triangular rice dumpling. The method of wrapping the four-corner rice dumplings needs to be a little more complicated. Two rice dumpling leaves are superimposed on each other, the bottom is slightly wider, and then folded into a cone shape. Then after putting the stuffing in, there are a few more steps when folding it down. Align the tiger's mouth with the back, then pinch the front end with your index finger and thumb to form a corner, then fold the left and right zong leaves in, cover the top leaves downward to form a quadrangular shape, and then tie it between the two corners. rope.
3. Different sizes: Since the triangular rice dumplings and the four-corner rice dumplings have different shapes when they are wrapped, the sizes are also different. Generally speaking, the triangular rice dumplings will be smaller, while the four-corner rice dumplings will be larger. Especially in the north, triangular rice dumplings are generally the main type. Relatively speaking, in the south, there are more rice dumplings wrapped with four corners. Therefore, in terms of volume, the four-corner rice dumplings are larger than the triangular rice dumplings. The difference between triangular rice dumplings and four-corner rice dumplings
