Well, only Minnan has this habit. However, the habit of cooking soup together is not the majority, and more is to dry the orange peel, hammer it or grind it with a machine, and wrap it in a stuffed jiaozi.

Orange peel is slightly spicy, slightly sour and contains fruit aroma. Cooking together can reduce the sweet and greasy feeling of glutinous rice balls and increase the aroma, which is pure natural. That's what you do at home. Some merchants use aromatic additives such as "banana oil" instead of orange peel.

To be precise, it is Quanzhou area, not Minnan area; Quanzhou is the birthplace of Yuanxiao Tangyuan.

Cook yuanxiao:

1. Boil the water first, then put down the frozen dumplings and turn the heat down. It is wise not to let the water boil. ?

2. If the water boils, add some cold water, without stirring hard. Just push jiaozi gently and stir hard and it will break. When they are cooked, you can eat them until they float on the water.

The frozen glutinous rice balls won't melt quickly when they are taken out of the refrigerator. If there is ice on the dumplings, it is suggested to melt them properly first, otherwise the boiled dumplings will not taste good. ?

4. It is best to use stainless steel pot. First, put proper water on the fire and heat it. When the water is about to boil, slide the jiaozi slowly along the edge of the pot, and then stir it slowly with a spoon. Don't push jiaozi, because it may push jiaozi.
