Eating dumplings at the Lantern Festival is a custom that began in the Song Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty poet Zhou Bi wrote a poem "The ancestors of the Lantern Boiled Yuanzi do not seem to have tried to give this sitting room into four rhymes"——
This night knows what night, and the reunion is the same.
Tang Guan looked for the old taste, and the stove maid was surprised by the new skill.
In the dark clouds, the beads float in the turbid water.
When he was young, he made up a miscellaneous chant, with this saying family style.
The Song Dynasty's round zi was called "floating round zi", because when it was boiled, it floated and sank in the pot, and when it was completely floated, it meant that it was cooked.
At that time, the rounds were stuffed. The Song Dynasty recipe "Wu's Zhongfenglu" has an account of the method of making round seeds-
Boiled sand balls and sugar are boiled into red beans or mung beans to form sand balls, and wrapped in raw glutinous rice flour to make large balls, steamed or boiled in soup.
Round seeds as the outer skin of the glutinous rice, has the effect of cold and temperature, but it is sticky and not easy to digest. Moreover, its filling is also relatively sweet, and people whose digestive function is not particularly good should not eat too much.
The things that the ancients ate during the festival were often fatter and fatter, such as moon cakes, rice dumplings, tangyuan, etc., because it was not easy to eat. However, the living standards of modern people have improved, and there are enough big fish and meat in the usual diet, the spleen and stomach function is generally not very good, and these traditional foods cannot be eaten too much during the festival.
To eat dumplings, you must drink soup, the so-called "original soup to the original food", to help consume food, is reasonable. If that's not enough, it's best to pair it with sake (called "mash" in the north). Most of the fermented foods are helpful for digestion. And the wine is also mostly made of glutinous rice, its nature is similar, the effect is faster, just like rice noodles to eat support, it is best to use fried grain sprouts and fried malt to consume food, rather than using hawthorn.
Finally, I would like to introduce the method of sake-stuffed yam dumplings-
Glutinous rice balls are not easy to digest? Teach you to make sake yam balls, sweet glutinous stomach without getting greasy!
We know that although glutinous rice is not easy to digest, it is tonic for the spleen and stomach, and the strength of the supplement is stronger than its brothers, japonica rice and indica rice. Then add yam, especially the authentic, medicinal and food-using iron stick yam, so that the yam rounds, but also to benefit the lungs, solid kidney filling.
