As soon as the festival comes, the foodies in foreign countries,
The first thing that comes to mind is
Always food with temperature and memories.
Winter dumpling dumplings,
Moon cakes for Mid-Autumn Festival
The meat dumplings of Dragon Boat Festival,
Qingming Youth League,
There is also Chinese New Year's Eve.
Although this year is a special year, the footsteps of time still pass by quietly. Seeing that the New Year's tail is coming,Lantern FestivalAlready. The beginning of this year gave us too much bitterness, so it is better to sweeten our lives during the Lantern Festival.
A three-piece set of traditional Lantern Festival customs, including
Watch the lantern,Guess the lantern riddleAnd highlightseat rice balls(orYuan Zhen）
However, this festival is not one of the focal battlefields of the North-South Food and Vicious War. The southerners filled a bowl of dumplings before the willow head on the moon.The northerners made a pot of dumplings after the lantern of the flower market, or the Lantern Festival.
Presumably everyone has been popularized several times for the difference between Lantern Festival and dumplings.
These two things look too much, the ancient and modern sayings are different, and there are differences in the names of different places, but they doNot the same thingOtherwise, the ancestors would not create two different words to toss people.
Just remember"Northern Lantern Festival, South dumplings", The former isShake out, The latter isOut of, Basically nothing wrong.
Earlier records of Tang Yuan can be found. In the Song Dynasty, there were "the rainy night and the people dispersed, and the lonely lamp still called Tang Yuan."
However, when the southerners were struggling with what dumplings to eat this year, many northern children were silently watching their mothers making dumplings.
In the north, New Year's Eve dumplings are eaten on the XNUMXth of the year, and New Year's dumplings are eaten on the first day of the new year. (Achu UPDATE: The northerners resolutely safeguard the image of the northerners: weEat rice dumplings!! Feeling good again for the Lantern Festival! Humph! )
In Henan, dumplings are also known as "Bianshi". Local customs are known as "Fifteen Yuan and Sixteen Yuan."
But for the entire southern region, dumplings exist like dumplings, and Guangxi has local characteristicsPan-fried oil dough, And there are classicFresh meat dumplings.
On the full moon of the Lantern Festival, on the fifteenth and sixteenth days of the lunar calendar, the bright side of the moon is all facing the earth. This is the full moon we are about to see.
The fullest moment of the moon is called the observing time. From Shuo to Wang, sometimes it takes 16 or 17 days, so only fifteen moons and sixteen circles are said. In pursuit of new yearReunionUnder the background of the circle, the moon on the fifteenth day of the first month is not round, so naturally it is not complete, so there is the custom of congratulating the fifteenth day of the first month and eating the lantern on the sixteenth day.
That year the squadron felt the call of the eaters and wiped out a few dumplings that Meidi Supermarket can buy. Sincerely produced this article.Evaluation of the most complete dumplings in the US supermarketIt's time to come out again! And this time it isPLUS version!! Recently, a lot of new-looking dumplings have appeared in the supermarket!Osmanthus flower, Matcha tea, Jinyu bean paste!The team has also tried it for you!

Dumplings are the most traditional flavor of sesame, which can be said to be a popular taste. So we bought 5 brands of sesame dumplingsBlind test.
(The so-called blind test, randomly number these 5 kinds of dumplings, taste them without knowing the brand, give a review, and choose your favorite one)
No. 1 Dumpling Campbell Campbell Nostalgic Dumpling Big Dumpling with Sesame Flavor
Show off
A well-formed dumpling.
A few of them seem to be showing signs of breaking when they are cooking, and the cooked Lantern Soup will have some turbidity.
Outer skin
Regardless of color, taste, or taste, the skin is "good".
The skin is soft and glutinous, but it is a little sticky. The skin is slightly thick, which can easily affect the taste.
Stuffing
Maybe it's because the first dumpling of this year was so delicious?
(Of course, the dumplings after the analogy are indeed delicious ==).
The filling content of this dumpling is fairly conscience and tastes good. It has a strong sesame flavor. The sweetness is moderate, and you won't feel tired after eating.
Note: I bought it and found that the parent brand is actually Campbell. It feels like an upgraded version of No. 3. After all, it is called "big dumpling".
No. 2 glutinous rice dumpling with laurel and sesame seeds
Prosperity ★★★★
There are no signs of filling, and the shape and color are very good. The cooked Lantern Festival soup has only a white turbidity.
Outer skin
The outer skin of No. 2 is about to spit out. The skin of people's dumplings is soft and glutinous, so that they will become too sticky.
But this one is different. The glutinous rice dumplings are hard and dry, which seems to be because the glutinous rice flour is less? In addition, the glutinous rice with this skin has a very light smell.
Stuffing
Tucao return to Tucao, the filling of No. 2 is still good!Although we only ate 5 types of glutinous rice balls, the stuffing on No. 2 can be ranked among the top three hahahaha.Regarding the amount of stuffing, our team has been arguing about it. Team member Roubao determined that No. 2 stuffing has more ingredients than No. 1.But the rest of the people feel vaguely that there is more material for No. 1 than No. 2...
The taste of the filling is similar to that of No. 1, but the sweetness is lighter than that of No. 1. Friends who love sweetness may feel that the sweetness is not enough.
No. 3 Dumplings Campbell Dumplings with Sesame
Show off
The sales are very good. Not only did the dumplings not leak, the Lantern Soup did not have any turbidity.
Outer skin ★★★
Compared with several other dumplings, this one has a softer skin and even a bit of rottenness (I don't know if it has been soaked for a long time).
Stuffing
Compared to the other sesame fillings of other dumplings, the filling of No. 3 sesame dumplings is richer.
In addition to sesame, some almond and walnut flavors can be eaten, but some of these ingredients are slightly bitter, which affects the overall taste and texture.
However, the filling is flowy, and it flows out with a bite. This, praise!
No. 4 glutinous rice dumplings
Show off
Don't look at the outer packaging, it's the most expensive one in sesame dumplings. Of course, this has something to do with the maximum amount of ╮ (￣ ▽ ￣) ╭ The appearance of the dumplings is beautiful, and it does not leak.
Outer skin
The outer skin is a bit hard, but the outer skin of No. 4 is slightly better than No. 2 in terms of taste and taste.
Stuffing
Focus on the fillings of No. 4 dumplings. We compared the fillings of 5 models and found that the fillings of the remaining four models were all black and shiny, and only the filling of No. 4 dumpling was brown.
The mother of a team member also joined us to try the dumplings. The aunt said that the fresher the sesame, the darker the stuffing made. The brown filling indicates that its freshness is not that good, or that the real sesame is not enough.
Let's take a look at the evaluation of several young members.
Little milk girl: I eat it without knowing that the brown sesame fillings are not fresh, so I think this filling is actually quite delicious. But the serving size is not so full, and it will be a little bit sweet in taste.
Big sister in Yanggu County: Not fresh, not fresh, not fresh, say important things three times. Moreover, I actually ate the meat in this dumpling.
(At that time, we were all a little surprised, but then the eldest girl went to see the ingredients for this glutinous rice dumpling, and there was indeed lard...
In addition, we did not find the production date and shelf life ╮ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭)
No. 5 Dumpling Miss Jade Dumpling Classic Black Sesame
The best sesame flavor dumplings recommended by the team!
Show off
The team agreed that this is the best-looking dumpling out of the 5 bowls of dumplings we eat!
We basically controlled the time during the cooking process. On the XNUMXth, we cooked a bit longer, but there was no feeling of leakage! (It's really safe not to leak anything)
Similarly, No. 5 dumplings also grow whiter and smoother and seem to want to eat more ~
Outer skin
The skin of No. 5 dumpling is very thin and delicate.
The skin has a sticky feel, but it is not as sticky as the other dumplings.
Stuffing
In fact, the fillings of No. 5 dumplings are similar to the fillings of No. 1 dumplings, and the ingredients are quite sufficient.
But what I really like is that the filling of No. 5 dumplings is a sense of flow. The liquid filling will slowly flow out. The degree of fluidity is well grasped. The thicker material is not so thin.
Compared to the sweetness, No. 5 is sweeter than No. 1. Some members said that "you may feel a little tired after eating too much."
IncludeWuren, Durian, Chestnut, Zi Nuo, Babao…We have eaten [finished] some of these, and share the comment (tu) price (cao) with everyone
In addition to black sesame seeds, red beans and peanuts are the two most common dumpling flavors in supermarkets.
But since we have measured the most traditional flavor representative sesame dumplings, we have only bought one each for red beans and peanuts;
The most important ones are Wuren, chestnut, durian...We also bought them all and tried them.
Laurel purple waxy dumplings
Recommendation index ★★★
Want something different, so we first eat the purple glutinous rice dumplings with laurel crown. I have to say this is a mistake, because this dumpling is super! level! Big!
Perhaps because it is purple glutinous rice, the skin is very loose and sticky, but it is very chewy. At the same time, the outer skin is relatively rough and grainy. Therefore, despite making a steamed bun of purple glutinous rice, it is no better than ordinary glutinous rice skin.
but! The inner filling of this model is to be praised. If you bite, the inner filling will burst! Pulp! It's up! It's also delicious. [Why the style of this picture is a bit wrong]
2. Miss Jade Tangyuan Purple Jade Chestnut
Recommendation index ★★★
In order to have an analogy effect, we next ate the Ziyu chestnut which is Miss Yutangyuan.After looking at the appearance and skin of this model, I can’t help but give you a comparison chart...
It feels like a glutinous rice dumpling with a microdermabrasion effect (._.). Some members of the team feel that the glutinous rice balls are glutinous. The skin of this one is up to the standard, and the viscosity is not bad.
However, the filling of this version is slightly inferior. This purple glutinous rice dumpling is made of chestnut. The filling is relatively dry, not sweet enough, and the serving size is not enough.
But this is not related to the material being chestnut, it is difficult to achieve a liquid effect.
3. Miss Wuren, Ningbo-style dumpling treasure
🏆The best new dumpling flavor recommended by the team!
Recommendation index ★★★★
When eating this type of dumpling, our little cook intentionally did not say what stuffing it was, let us guess for ourselves.
As soon as I ate it, it was full of peanut flavor and taste. . . Not bad?
As a result, the chef told me that this model was Wuren, and I was instantly amazed.
what. . . Wuren could have been so delicious! !! !!
In other words, how big of a prejudice we have against Wuren ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Closer to home, I would like to evaluate it. This is one of the most amazing flavors I recommend.
The skin is well-formed, and the inner stuffing is mainly evaluated. As a five kernel filling, it contains melon seeds, hazelnuts, almonds and peanuts.
But relatively speaking, the peanut flavor is relatively heavy (so everyone thought at first that he was a rice dumpling filled with peanuts). The thick peanut flavor was accompanied by crisp nuts. Because the nuts are cut into larger pieces, it tastes slightly crunchy.
All in all, this is a delicious Wuren! (Five-ren moon cake: Σ (° △ ° |||) ︴!)
4. Miss Jade Tang Yuan Cai Jade Eight Treasures
Recommendation index ★★
The taste of Caiyu Eight Treasures missing Miss Yutangyuan is actually similar to that of its treasure Wuren.
The difference is that there is more content in the filling, with a heavy almond and walnut flavor.
The big sister of Yanggu County keenly ate the walnut kernel without peeling, and the taste was relatively astringent.
[Oh, this is the peasant's move in the food industry! ]
In addition, the skin of this model is also made thicker, which affects the overall taste. Therefore I recommend Wuren.
5. Yimei Honey Bean Dumplings
Recommendation index ★
Haha, when it’s out of the pan, everyone can’t help but say that the shape is so strange. Those who don’t know may think it is irregular in shape, fish balls...
The skin is relatively general, not only thick, but also not chewy enough.
Then the filling was relatively small, and it didn't bite after a few bites.
The bite is the very traditional red bean paste. So, uh. It should be a red bean dumpling that the team would not recommend. I believe there is a better brand of red bean dumpling.
6. Miss Jade Soup Round Black Sesame Hazelnuts
Recommendation index ★★★
Ah, I wandered for a long time at the rice dumpling counter in the supermarket and found that there were so many flavors I missed.
I thought about it, it ’s a pity not to ask them for advertising fees [] ~ (￣ ▽ ￣) ~ * But who made us want to do a fair dumpling evaluation
Tell me about this black sesame and hazelnut flavor.The skin is thinner than other missed dumplings.The filling still has a strong sesame flavor, so I like it very much.The only difference is that the nutty smell is stronger [should come from hazelnuts] and it is also sweeter.
7. Miss Yu Yu Tang Yuen with mellow durian
Recommendation index ★★★
Ah, a delightful and worrying flavor dumpling. Let's talk in three groups here.
Like durian: delicious! good to eat! good to eat! Durian is particularly heavy!
Neutral on durian: Well, this dumpling has to say that the filling tastes good, and the durian taste is heavier. A yellow-striped crust, although more distinctive. In fact, the skin is very thick, which affects the taste and is not as good as the traditional ordinary skin. [The problem of too thick skin also happened on Babao Caiyu dumplings]
People who hate durians: they didn't eat it...(‵﹏′)
Well, this is the Meidi Supermarket Dumpling Evaluation Plus version produced by this team.
More than 5000 words, I hope that you have chosen your favorite one! If you do n’t find your favorite flavor in the Asian supermarket near you, run as many as me, maybe there will be a surprise!
The team wishes you a happy Lantern Festival!
Hopefully after this festival, everything will slowly get better!
