Jinci yuanxiao

"Yuanxiao Egg" is the nickname of Yuanxiao. Jinci area is not only rich in rice, but also rich in high-quality glutinous rice, especially in Dongzhuangying village. It is said that the glutinous rice noodles produced in this village are extremely sticky and have tendons, and the Yuanxiao made from it grows bigger and bigger in the pot, and the more it is cooked, the more fragrant it becomes. In the past, most of the Jinci Yuanxiao used glutinous rice noodles from Dongzhuangying, so the Yuanxiao made was superior in taste. In addition, most of the fillings in Jinci Yuanxiao are made of locally produced walnuts, lotus seed powder, rose sauce, sesame seeds, etc., which are carefully prepared with brown sugar. After the stuffing is made, it is soaked with Jinci spring water, and then rolled in glutinous rice flour in a sieve until it is made into Yuanxiao. It is said that the Yuanxiao made in this way has extremely high nutritional value, tastes fragrant and sweet, and has an endless aftertaste. Therefore, before the Lantern Festival, merchants in Jinci and Jinyuan have to make many Lantern Festivals for merchants from Taiyuan, Yuci, Taigu, Qixian and other places to purchase, making them famous and enduring.
