花样二:元宵节英语知识大考验:如何自制元宵?按中国民间的传统,在每年的农历正月十五这一天,人们要点起彩灯万盏,以示庆贺。出门赏月、燃灯放焰、喜猜灯谜、共吃元宵,合家团聚、同庆佳节,其乐融融。元宵节的到来也标志着春节的结束。
元宵(黏米团子)或者叫做汤圆是元宵节这一天必吃的食物。相传汉武帝时宫中有一位宫女,名叫“元宵”,长年幽于宫中,思念父母,终日以泪洗面。大臣东方朔决心帮助她,于是对汉武帝谎称,火神奉玉帝之命于正月十五火烧长安,要逃过动难,唯一的办法是让“元宵姑娘”
在正月十五这天做很多火神爱吃的汤圆,并由全体臣民张灯供奉。武帝准凑,“元宵姑娘”终于见到家人。此后,便形成了元宵节。元宵这种食物实际上是甜馅“饺子”的一种,用粘糯米和甜的馅料制成。
元宵口感粘糯,口味香甜,外观浑圆,象征着一家人团圆、美满和幸福。在一般的中国店铺都可以买到。这里就向您介绍一个做元宵的食谱:

Ingredients
4 1/2 cups (500 g) sticky rice flour

wine together. You need to heat a little bit. Make small balls
about 0.3-0.4 oz (10 g) each.
2. Take 1/2 cup of sticky rice flour. Add water
into the flour and make a flatten dough. Cook it in boiled water
and take out until done. Let it cool down. Then put it in the rest
of the sticky rice flour. Add water and knead until the dough is
smooth.
3. Make the dough into small pieces about 0.3-0.4

a hole in the ball like a snail. Put the sesame ball into it and
close it up.

stirring in one direction while cooking. When they float on the
water, continue to boil for about one minute using less heat.

1、将黄油、黑芝麻粉、白糖和酒混合,加热一会,搓成10克左右的小团。
2、取约100克黏糯米面,加水和成面团,放在开水中煮熟。晾凉后加入到剩余的糯米面中,揉捏到平滑。
3、将面团分成10克左右的小团,用手搓成球形,再在中间刺出一个蜗形,再把之前做好的芝麻馅填充进去。
4、在开水中煮熟,在煮的过程中要始终顺着一个方向搅拌,汤圆全部浮起在水面后小火再煮一分钟,即可。
