元宵是北方人的叫法,南方人叫汤圆。按照我国传统,每年农历正月十五,人们逛花灯逛庙会吃元宵。元宵节起源于汉朝,民间流传着因周勃、陈平去除了吕室的势力,而日子刚好为正月十五日,汉文帝为纪念此日,往后每年到民间与民同乐,并并把此日订为元宵节,至汉武帝时、司马迁在太初历中把元宵节列为民间节日之一。
相比南方的汤圆,元宵的优点是没裂缝,个头大,缺点是馅粗粉糙,板滞质硬。由于干粉太多,使汤变糊,往往浊而不清。元宵馅料多样,色白如雪,糯软细润,香甜微酸,食用方便经济。
元宵的做法,是以馅为基础。大致过程是先是拌馅料,和匀后摊成大圆薄片,晾凉后再切成比乒乓球小的立方块。然后把馅块放入像大筛子似的机器里,倒上江米粉,“筛”起来了。随着馅料在互相撞击中变成球状,江米也沾到馅料表面形成了元宵。再放入沸水中,煮至元宵浮出水面即可。
Tang Yuan ( 汤圆) or tangtuan (汤团), is a Chinese food made from glutinous rice flour. Glutinous rice flour is mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and is then cooked and served in boiling water.Tangyuan that has been filled with sweet or savory fillings are collectively known as Yuan Xiao (元宵). Filled tangyuan (Yuan Xiao) can be filled with a wide variety of ingredients including red bean paste, chopped peanuts and sugar, sesame paste (ground black sesame seeds mixed with lard and sugar), rock sugar (which would create a hot, melting caramel-like filling), etc.
Most Penang people will make their own Tang Yuan during MidWinter Season(冬至). I could still remember during childhood, all the family members would gather together to prepare the Tang Yuan. Nowadays most busy Penang local do not have time to prepare their own, so mostly we would just buy outside.
Now we do not need to wait until MidWinter Season(冬至). We can eat Tang Yuan any time we want. Many people will tend to eat Tang Yuan after watching the TVB series A Life Made Simple (Ah Wong II). I will not introduce Mango Tang Yuan but a delicious and simple frozen Tang Yuan from KG Pastry. Their slogan is "So Easy, So Yummy". It's very true!
1. You can buy this frozen Tang Yuan from TESCO or from others Hypermarket. There are two types, one bigger size and the other smaller but both also same prize. It is just the matter of quantity. I love the one with peanut butter fillings.
