The Winter Solstice

Today was the winter solstice.In Chinese custom,people should eat sticky rice ball today and people who ate the sticky rice ball will grow one year of age,and it also means a reunion of family.However,the manners of cook sticky rice ball has several ways,but I just introduce two ways and they are also two common and traditional ways which people use to cook Tangyuan.On one way,sticky rice ball is produced by glutinous rice and collocate several different fillings.So,some people cook it with sugar water,so we called it sweet sticky rice ball. On the other way,people make the sticky rice ball's flavor become salty.They cook it with some julienne of meat,mushrooms and shrimp etc.However,when people cook the salty sticky rice ball and they will choice the sticky rice ball without fillings as a result that most fillings'flavors are sweet.Can you imagine you eat salty soup with sweet sticky rice ball?Finally,pepole always called the salty sticky rice ball is Hakka salty sticky rice ball and I like both falvors,the sweet sticky rice ball and the Hakka salty sticky rice ball.
