1、用热水和面比用冷水和面更简单,包起来比较轻松,不容易散开.
2、汤圆在吃的时候,一定要注意安全,尤其是小孩子,一定要帮助掐碎了再吃,一次不要给多了,2-3个就可以了,糯米制品不容易消化的.
3、将所有的汤圆包好独立放置.可在放置盘上撒上干糯米粉防止粘底.如果包太多了要保存,那需要放冰箱冷冻仓而不是保鲜仓;
4、煮汤圆切记不能用大火,水烧开后一定要改用小火,煮的时候记得轻晃几下锅子,确保汤圆不粘底,现包的汤圆,一般3分钟左右,看到汤圆浮起就可以出果了,如果是、速冻的最好煮5分钟左右.如果汤圆比较大那也要多煮一会.
5、汤圆不宜包的太大,以免煮的时候里面容易夹生,外面则皮都烂了;
6、包起来觉得很困难的话可以将馅放的少点,皮放的多点,但是记得煮的时候小火多煮会,以免面生;
7、包汤圆如果觉得很麻烦,可以直接搓成实心的小丸子,做小汤圆吃也是不错的选择哦.

Top 10 Most Feared Questions for Chinese New Year

Top 10 Most Feared Questions for Chinese New Year

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Testing... 1, 2, 3... does this still work? Great! I still have a blog. Let me see if I can remember how to work this thing...

Walking through the Guangzhou subway the other day I saw this advertisement for real estate. it's one of those priceless looks into Chinese culture that is so valuable because it's Chinese people critiquing themselves.

Here's a direct translation (with pinyin) and my commentary.

Billboard Title

xīn chūn shí lián wèn 新春十连问 = New Year's 10 Connected Questions

My Commentary

Interesting they used the words "xīn chūn" for "New Year's." The other ways to say it are "xīn nián" 新年 and "chūn jié" 春节. I'm not entirely sure what the difference is besides combing both of them.

The "connected" bit means sort of "non-stop." This is the cultural commentary. Young people heading home for the holidays are dreading the barrage and wèn huà 问话 from their family members about their economic, marital, and child-bearing progress. So this real estate company is trying to establish credibility with struggling, young workers by showing they sympathize with how NOT-fun it is to face these questions. "So why not let our real estate company help you answer at least one of them?" (the 2nd one in my list).

The (Dreaded) Questions

1. nǐ jīn nián shōu rù duōshao a? 你今年收入多少啊？= What's your yearly income this year?

2. shénme shíhòu mǎi fáng a? 什么时候买房啊？= When will you by a house?

3. mǎi chē le ma? 买车了吗？= Have you bought a car?

4. shénme shíhòu jiéhūn a? 什么时候结婚啊？ = When will you getting married?

5. shénme shíhòu yào háizi a? 什么时候要孩子啊？= When do you want to have kids?

6. shénme shíhòu shēng èr tāi a? 什么时候生二胎啊 = When will you have your 2nd child?

7. shénme shíhòu jiǎn féi a? 什么时候减肥啊？ = When will you lose weight?

8. xīn nián méi qù guó wài wán ma? 新年没去国外玩吗？= You didn't go travelling abroad for New Year's?

My Commentary

I'm going to talk mostly about culture here.
Questions 1-3

You can see these are mostly about money. I've been asked all three of these by taxi drivers, so I can imagine that family members would be even more interested. It's very common in China to talk openly about personal finances. But, as this billboard implies: just because it's common doesn't mean Chinese people enjoy it.

It's commonly thought that men have to have their own house and car before getting married, so I put these questions at the top of the list.

The BIGGEST question on the billboard is question number one. Does that mean it's the most feared of them all, or that it's the most important for the remaining questions?

Questions 4-6

This is the order the questions will get asked. This billboard is implying that no matter what your current situation is (single, married, have one kid already) there is still one more dreaded question waiting for you.

Question 6: starting in 2016, the famous "One Child Policy" was officially updated to be the "Two Child Policy." Hence, the chance to get asked about a second child. By just observing the Chinese mom's around me, it seems like a whole bunch of families are making use of the new law!

Question 7

This is a hilarious and awkwardly realistic question to be asked by family members and friends. But again, just because talking openly about weight problems is common in China doesn't mean they all enjoy it. Otherwise, why would it be on the "10 Dreaded Questions" list?
Question 8

There is an interesting tension in China: come home for the holidays vs. go travel for the holidays. With the growing popularity and status associated with "international" experience, I can imagine young people going home for the holidays and getting mixed messages about "nice to have you home but why aren't you out traveling?"
Ummm...

I could only find 8 questions. Can anyone look at the picture and find the other 2...?
