Fast Technology reported on February 24 that today is the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar, and it is also the traditional Chinese festival Lantern Festival.
Lei Jun, founder and CEO of Xiaomi Group, posted on Weibo to wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival, and also said, "My hometown of Xiantao, Hubei, eats rice balls and "rice dumplings" during the Lantern Festival. ”
Lei Jun said that rice dumplings are ground rice into flour, and after cooking, kneaded into a ball, with bacon, vermicelli, dried tofu and other fillings on the bread, and then steamed to eat, it is very delicious.
There is also a fellow villager Lei Jun in the comment area, who shared his ** eating rice dumplings.
It is understood that "Lantern Festival" is the name of the northerners, and "Tangyuan" is the name of the southerners, both of which are glutinous rice flour products, but there are many differences.
Lantern Festival generally only uses sweet fillings, when making the filling into small pieces, then dip in water, roll in the basket containing glutinous rice noodles, sprinkle water and add powder while rolling, so that it is naturally covered with glutinous rice flour and rolled into a round ball.
Compared with the Lantern Festival, the skin of the glutinous rice balls is made of fine glutinous rice flour, which is directly wrapped by hand, a bit like the dumplings made by northerners, the wrapped rice balls have a smooth appearance and a sticky taste; The filling can be vegetarian or meaty.
However, whether it is the Lantern Festival that "rolls" out or the glutinous rice balls that come out of the "wrap", the shape is round, which means that the reunion is full and complete, and it entrusts people's good wishes for the future life.
