Chaozhou traditional snacks: the shape is white as peeled lychee, fragrant and soft, freshly cooked delicious, overcooked is also delicious, each with its own characteristics. There are two theories about the origin of the name of duck mother twist: one is that this kind of tangyuan used to be as large as a duck egg (duck egg, Teochew dialect is also called "duck mother egg"), so it is called duck mother twisting; the other is that this tangyuan floats on the water after cooking, such as a white female duck floating on the water, so it is called duck mother twist.
