Introduction: As the old saying goes, food is the most important thing for people, and food is also reflected in traditional festival culture. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is my country's traditional festival, the Lantern Festival. So, what do we eat on the Lantern Festival? What should we eat during the Lantern Festival? Next, please follow the editor to learn about it! During the first month of the lunar calendar, you will have a good year. The first month is the most important month of spring. Mr. Shui Mo will share with you some knowledge about January.Yuanxiao Food: YuanxiaoYuanxiao, also known as tangyuan, shuotuo, yuanzi, etc., has a long history in my country. 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: dumplingsDumplings 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.How to make YuanxiaoIngredients: appropriate amount of glutinous rice, rice, appropriate amount of white sugar, sesame paste, peach kernels (crushed), sesame seeds, and melted lard. Method: 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.How to make dumplingsPrepare the ingredients: beef, onion, ginger, and celery. Chop all the ingredients and mix them together. Add three tablespoons of cooking oil. You can add other seasonings yourself. You must add more cooking oil to the beef, otherwise it will be very dry. Method: 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.Summary: The above article provides us with a detailed analysis of the food for the Lantern Festival. You can take a look at it.
