The difference between glutinous rice balls and yuanxiao

Tangyuan dumplings in the south have more fillings, more flavors, and are softer and glutinous, while glutinous rice dumplings in the north have fewer fillings, a single taste, and a chewy texture.

To cook Yuanxiao well, you must put it into the pot when the water is boiling hot, and push it slowly with the back of a spoon to make the Yuanxiao rotate and roll without sticking to the pot. When the Yuanxiao floats, quickly reduce the heat to simmer. After the water boils, add some cold water appropriately to keep the soup in the pot in a "like rolling but not boiling" state. After ordering three times of cold water, boil the pot and cook for a while until it is done.

Yuanxiao is delicious, but don’t eat too much. Who needs to pay attention?

“Patients with obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, etc. must not eat too much to avoid burdening the body and aggravating existing diseases; the glutinous rice used to make glutinous rice balls is highly sticky and difficult to digest. Eating too much will slow down gastrointestinal motility, causing symptoms such as flatulence, loss of appetite, and indigestion. People with chronic digestive tract diseases, the elderly and some children with weak digestive functions should not consume excessive amounts. ”
