The history of tangyuan

The custom of eating glutinous rice balls began in the Song Dynasty, when glutinous rice balls were called "floating dumplings", also known as "glutinous rice balls", "lactose dumplings", "soup balls" and "glutinous rice balls", and merchants called them "gold ingots". At the beginning of the Song, Yuan and Yuan Dynasties, glutinous rice balls have become a festive food for the Lantern Festival, so people also call them "Yuanxiao", so they are called Yuanxiao in the north and glutinous rice balls in the south.

Besides cooking Yuanxiao or glutinous rice balls, many people like to eat fried ones. Although this will be particularly crispy and delicious, the oil-heat ratio will be higher.
