What should we eat during the Lantern Festival?

Yuanxiao Food: Yuanxiao Yuanxiao, also known as tangyuan, shuotuo, yuanzi, etc., has a long history in China. Yuanxiao, also known as "tangyuan", is filled with sugar, rose, sesame, bean paste, osmanthus, walnut kernels, nuts, jujube paste, etc. It is wrapped in glutinous rice flour into a round shape. It can be meat or vegetarian, with different flavors. It is a must to eat Yuanxiao during the Lantern Festival, as it represents the auspicious meaning of "round like the moon".
Lantern Festival Food: Dumplings Dumplings are a folk food with a long history and are very popular among the people. There is a folk saying that “nothing tastes better than dumplings”. During every Chinese New Year, dumplings become an indispensable delicacy. The dumplings are shaped like ingots. People eat dumplings during the Spring Festival to get the sound of "attracting wealth and treasure". Secondly, dumplings have stuffing, which makes it convenient for people to wrap all kinds of auspicious things into the stuffing to express their wishes for the new year.
Ingredients for making Yuanxiao : appropriate amount of glutinous rice, rice, appropriate amount of white sugar, sesame paste, peach kernels (crushed), sesame seeds, and melted lard.
practice:
1. Mix glutinous rice and rice (5000 grams of glutinous rice can be added with 1000 grams of rice), soak in water for 1-2 days, grind it into fine powder, put it into a cloth bag, suspend it in the air, and make flour.
2. Mix sugar, sesame paste, peach kernels, sesame seeds, melted lard and flour, and make into small cubes for filling.
3. Add appropriate amount of cold water to the flour and knead it. Take a small piece, flatten it, put in the cut fillings, seal it and knead it into a round shape.
4. Bring the water to a boil and add the glutinous rice balls. Do not use too strong a fire when cooking. The glutinous rice balls float to the surface of the water and can be taken out after a while.
To make dumplings , prepare the following ingredients: beef, onion, ginger, and celery. Chop and mix all the ingredients. Add three tablespoons of cooking oil and add other seasonings yourself. You must add more cooking oil to the beef, otherwise it will be very dry.
practice:
1. Put the filling in the middle of the dumpling skin and fold it in half. The purchased dumpling skin is dry, so it is easier to pinch it with your fingers dipped in some water.
2. The way to hold it is that the meat filling faces outwards. The traditional way is to just twist it up, but for the ingot-shaped one, you have to twist it from top to bottom.
3. Use your thumb to press a groove and pinch the corners together. Don’t pinch too much, or the ingot will become crooked.
