What's worth buying is the value of the help you buy.

Not only are the names different, but the methods are different, the ways of eating, the fillings are different, and the storage methods are different, and the two are not the same food.

Lantern Festival is one of the traditional Chinese snacks and belongs to the festival food customs. The practice of Lantern Festival is based on the filling, mixing the filling first, mixing evenly and then spreading it into large round slices, and then cutting it into cubes smaller than table tennis balls after drying. Then put the stuffing pieces into a large sieve-like machine and pour the rice noodles on top"Sift"Get up, as the fillings hit each other and the Jiang rice touches the surface of the filling and becomes a ball, it becomes a Lantern Festival.

North""Lantern Festival, South"package"Tangyuan, which is a different food for both methods and textures.

The difference between tangyuan and lantern festival is mainly in the production method, filling selection, cooking habits and storage methods.

1. Production method, glutinous rice balls are first mixed with hot or cold water to form dough, and then various fillings are wrapped into it and kneaded into a round;

The Lantern Festival is to first make a fixed filling and cut it into small pieces, dip it in water, and then shake and shake it on the sieve full of raw glutinous rice flour, sprinkle some water while shaking, and wait for the filling to roll into a round ball.

2. The filling of the glutinous rice balls is soft, and there are many salty and sweet meat and vegetarian options.

The filling of the Lantern Festival is hard, and it is generally mainly sweet. In addition to the traditional five kernels, bean paste, and hawthorn cakes, there are also many coarse grains, fruits, and flower flavors, as well as frenzied roasted pork with dried plum vegetables, and fresh meat stuffing with mushrooms;

In contrast, the Lantern Festival is much more specific, with sweetness, black sesame seeds and bean paste are common fillings.

3. Glutinous rice balls are mostly eaten boiled, and some are fried and eaten.

Lantern Festival is mostly fried and eaten, but it can also be boiled.

4. The storage method is different, and the glutinous rice balls can be frozen, so the shelf life is relatively long.

Lantern Festival freezing is easy to crack, so the shelf life is relatively short.

1. The approach is different. The Lantern Festival is rolled out, the stuffing is cut into small pieces, placed in a wicker basket covered with a layer of Jiangmi noodles, and constantly sieved and rolled, sprinkling water while sifting and rolling, forming the Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival is only sweet.

The glutinous rice balls are made with glutinous rice and water, and the rice with water is ground with a stone mill, and the glutinous rice flour from the grinding is drained and refrigerated for three or four days, and then water and balls are added, and the skin is made for a few hours.

2. Food festivals are different. Lantern Festival is the festive diet of the Lantern Festival. Tangyuan is the Spring Festival and the beginning of the year for southerners.

7. The festival food of the Shangyuan Festival (Lantern Festival) is also a traditional food for southerners to entertain family members and family dinners returning home from afar, and its significance is equivalent to that of dumplings in the north.

Because the skin is very sticky, the rice balls are not easy to preserve in the old days, and they only appeared in the store with the quick-freezing process. The taste of Lantern Festival and Tangyuan is also different. Because of the difference in production technology, the taste of Lantern Festival is coarser than that of glutinous rice balls.

The fillings of the Lantern Festival are relatively simple, while the fillings of the dumplings are richer. The traditional Lantern Festival fillings are mostly lard bean paste, white sugar sesame, jujube paste, ginkgo seeds, nuts, almonds, hawthorn, etc.; The filling of tangyuan is traditionally sweet, and now there are certain innovations on the basis of traditional sweet filling, such as adding diced meat, diced ham, dried shrimp, etc.

The method is different: according to the traditional practice, the glutinous rice balls are wrapped, and the surface is relatively smooth and sticky; The Lantern Festival is rolled out, and the surface is dry and soft.

Different fillings: There are many kinds of fillings for glutinous rice balls, in addition to the traditional five kernels, bean paste, peanuts, there are also some flowers, coarse grains flavors, and even salty plum vegetables roasted pork, mushrooms and fresh meat flavors; On the contrary, the taste of Lantern Festival is relatively uniform, mainly sweet, and the more common ones are black sesame, bean paste, and peanut flavors.

Different ways to eat: the way to eat glutinous rice balls is mainly boiled, and some people like to eat them fried; Although the Lantern Festival is also boiled as the main cooking method, there are also some areas where it is fried and eaten. Moreover, the boiled rice balls are not the same as the Lantern Festival.

After the glutinous rice balls are out of the pot, they are mostly clear soup, while the Lantern Festival is just the opposite, and it is often muddy soup after it comes out of the pot.

The Northern Lantern Festival is based on the stuffing, and the Jiangmi flour is the production process of the façade. The process is simple and easy to learn: mix the filling, mix evenly, spread it into large round slices, let it cool and then cut it into cubes the size of a ping pong ball.

Then put the stuffing into a dustpan, pour an appropriate amount of rice noodles, and shake it to "sift" up. As the fillings turn into balls when they hit each other, the Jiangmi also touches the surface of the fillings to form a Lantern Festival. The layer of the made Lantern Festival rice noodles is very thin, the surface is dry, and the rice noodles absorb water and become mushy when they are cooked.

There are regional differences between glutinous rice balls and Lantern Festival. Generally, northerners only eat Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival. Southerners often eat tangyuan to celebrate on festivals such as the winter solstice, small year, Chinese New Year's Eve, and Lantern Festival.

Originally called "Fu Yuanzi", it is very good-looking, reminiscent of a bright moon hanging in the clouds. In ancient Chinese, "soup" means boiling water, and later people gradually changed the name to soup balls and rice balls.

Whether it is the Lantern Festival or the soup balls, these names are close to the sound of "reunion", take the meaning of reunion and beauty, and it is the night of the full moon of the fifteenth month, symbolizing the reunion of the whole family, harmony and happiness, people also use this to miss the parting relatives, and place good wishes for the future life.

Ten miles of different winds, hundreds of miles of different customs, thousands of miles of different sympathy. In some parts of our country, during the winter solstice or the Spring Festival, instead of eating dumplings, we eat glutinous rice balls, or sweet stuffing for glutinous rice balls, and salty stuffing for Lantern Festival.

The difference between Lantern Festival and Tangyuan.

Lantern Festival and Tangyuan are both glutinous rice flour products, with different flavors of fillings in the middle, and the production methods are different due to the difference in climate between the north and the south. Lantern Festival generally only uses vegetarian solid sweet filling, cut the filling into small pieces, dip it in water, roll in a basket full of glutinous rice noodles, and sprinkle water while rolling, so that it is naturally covered with glutinous rice noodles and rolled into a round ball, and the rice balls are made of very fine rice balls (the filling is vegetarian and meat). When eating, it is generally boiled with water, the soup is clearer after the rice balls are cooked, and the soup is thicker after the Lantern Festival is cooked, so drinking the soup is like drinking glutinous rice noodle porridge.

Due to the different processes, the glutinous rice balls do not mess with the soup when cooking, the skin surface is lubricated, and the filling has good fluidity; The Lantern Festival is easy to mess with soup, but the skin is soft, and it can be fried, drawn, dressed, steamed, baked and other edible methods.

Same. That's the case, after Yuan Shikai became the emperor, he changed the Lantern Festival to tangyuan. Why? It is because "Lantern Festival" is homophonic to "Yuan Elimination", which means that Yuan Shikai was eliminated. I don't know why it's called "glutinous rice balls".

I think that tangyuan is relatively small and used for cooking, and it is mostly seen in the south; The Lantern Festival is relatively large and used for fried food, which is mostly seen in the north.

The main reason is that the production method is different.

The materials used are basically the same.

The filling of the Lantern Festival is rolling: first make the filling, and then glue the noodles layer by layer, and the filling of the rice balls is wrapped: make good noodles, wrap the filling into the noodles, and rub the round.

In terms of taste, the Lantern Festival is slightly harder, and the rice balls are slightly softer.

In the south, it is called tangyuan, and in the north, it is called Lantern Festival, and the taste of the method is also a little different Lantern Festival is to make the filling first, then dip it in water, and then put it in the glutinous rice flour to roll it out layer by layer, and the taste is relatively strong; Tangyuan is like making steamed buns, first mix glutinous rice noodles, and then stuff them inside, the taste is relatively soft, and now the ones bought in the supermarket are generally glutinous rice balls and Lantern Festival are generally halal.

Tangyuan is eaten, and the Lantern Festival is a festival.

The main differences are as follows: the difference in practice, the difference in taste, the difference in cooking methods, the difference in regions, and the difference in storage methods.

1.Differences in practice.

Lantern Festival: Lantern Festival is based on filling, before making the filling, the filling should be done first, then cut the filling into small pieces, and then put the filling in the box filled with glutinous rice flour and shake it back and forth, shake it to the outside of the filling and roll a thick layer of glutinous rice flour, and then rub it round.

Tangyuan: The production process of glutinous rice balls is more like making dumplings, you must first mix the glutinous rice flour, then wake it up, and then make the filling, and then wrap the filling into the awakened dough and knead it round.

2.Taste difference.

Lantern Festival: The skin of the Lantern Festival is very dry and soft, so the taste will be relatively soft and delicious. Like bean paste and black sesame seeds, they are often used as fillings for Lantern Festival.

Tangyuan: In contrast, the skin of the glutinous rice balls will be more firm, because there is a reason for the noodles to wake up, so it will taste more chewy, and it will be very smooth and soft and glutinous, and the soup used to cook the glutinous rice balls will also taste more viscous. The filling of the glutinous rice balls is soft, and there are many salty and sweet meat and vegetarian options.

3.Cooking Sun Qing method difference.

Lantern Festival: In addition to boiling, the cooking method of Lantern Festival can also be eaten by frying, so the taste will be richer. The time to cook Lantern Festival is generally relatively long, often more than 10 minutes.

Tangyuan: Tangyuan can generally only be boiled, but Tangyuan will be easier to cook than Lantern Festival, and it can be cooked for about 3-5 minutes.

4.Geographical distinctions.

Lantern Festival: Lantern Festival is generally a food eaten during the Lantern Festival in the north.

1. The approach is different.

The glutinous rice balls are wrapped out, and the skin is smooth and sticky. The Lantern Festival is rolled out, and the skin is dry and soft. Tangyuan is to use raw glutinous rice flour with hot or cold water first, and Chengyuan finger dough, and then wrap various fillings into it and knead it into a round.

The Lantern Festival is to first make a solid filling cut into small pieces, dip it in water, and then shake and shake on the sieve full of raw glutinous rice flour, sprinkle a little water while shaking, and wait for the filling to roll into a round ball.

2. The choice of fillings is different.

The filling of the glutinous rice balls is soft, and there are many salty and sweet meat and vegetarian options. The filling of the Lantern Festival is hard, and it is generally single sweet. In addition to the traditional five kernels, bean paste and hawthorn cake, there are also many coarse grains, fruits, flowers, and even roasted pork with plum vegetables.

Shiitake mushroom meat filling, according to the foodie attributes of the Chinese people, it is not surprising that there will be some fish-flavored shredded pork, kung pao chicken, spicy hot stuffing and the like in the future. In contrast, the Lantern Festival is much more specific, mainly sweet, black sesame seeds, and bean paste are common fillings.

3. Different ways to eat.

Glutinous rice balls are mostly eaten boiled, and some are fried and eaten. Lantern Festival is mostly fried and eaten, but it can also be boiled. If you boil the rice balls, then the time required to cook them is relatively short, about 3 to 5 minutes to float up, and the soup after cooking is a clear soup.

If you cook Lantern Festival, then it takes a long time to cook, often more than 10 minutes, and the soup after cooking is muddy because of the raw glutinous rice flour absorbing water.

The difference between glutinous rice balls and Lantern Festival is that the production process is different and the preservation method is different.

When making Lantern Festival, the filling should first be done, dipped in water, and then thrown into a container full of glutinous rice flour and shaken; Then dip it in water and continue to roll on the glutinous rice flour, repeating it many times to gradually become round and larger. The method of glutinous rice balls is like making dumplings, first add water to the dry glutinous rice flour and form a dough, and then use the dough to wrap the filling, the dough is formed into a circle, and it is quick-frozen after it is done, which is easy to preserve. Most of the dumplings are made by machine.

The traditional process of making the Lantern Festival is easy to absorb water due to the glutinous rice flour on the outside, and the taste will change after refrigeration, and improper storage will lead to microbial growth and deterioration. Therefore, the Lantern Festival is mostly made and sold, and the shelf life is mostly two or three days.

The shelf life of glutinous rice balls is longer, the glutinous rice balls go through the quick-freezing process, the general shelf life is 6 months to 12 months, the best storage temperature is below -18, and they can be eaten at any time during the shelf life, which is convenient and fast.

Although there is a saying of "Lantern Festival in the North and Tangyuan in the South", with the flow of population, the food culture is integrated and interconnected, and now there are both Lantern Festival and Tangyuan sold in the northern market. However, in the south, it is still mostly produced with glutinous rice balls.

Different practices, different ways of eating, different fillings and different storage methods, they are all the food of people during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is the custom of the traditional Lantern Festival! It's just that because of the cultural differences between the north and the south, the food is different.

The Lantern Festival, also known as the Shangyuan Festival, the Little New Year, the Yuan Xi Festival or the Lantern Festival, is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year and is the last important festival in the Chinese New Year customs. The Lantern Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China, the Chinese character cultural circle and overseas Chinese. The first lunar month is the first month of the lunar calendar, which the ancients said"Night"for"Supper", so the fifteenth day of the first full moon night of the year is called the Lantern Festival.

In ancient Chinese customs, the Shangyuan Festival (Tianguan Festival), the Zhongyuan Festival (Diguan Festival, Bon Festival) and the Xiayuan Festival (Shuiguan Festival) are collectively called Sanyuan. There is a long process in the formation of the Lantern Festival customs, however, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was really a folk festival after the Han and Wei dynasties.

The folk custom of eating Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival is called in the south"Glutinous rice balls"、"Balls"、"Floating balls"、"Water round", made of glutinous rice, either solid, or stuffed. The filling has bean paste, sugar, hawthorn, etc., boiled, fried, steamed, and fried.

At first, people called this food"Floating balls", and later called"Gnocchi"or"Glutinous rice balls", these names are the same as"Reunion"The pronunciation is similar, taking the meaning of reunion, symbolizing the reunion of the whole family, harmony and happiness, and people also miss their parting relatives and place their hopes on the future life. Eating Lantern Festival symbolizes the reunion of the family like the full moon, and entrusts people's good wishes for future life.
