Fried Yuanxiao

Overview

This year’s Lantern Festival will not eat boiled Yuanxiao. Instead, we will eat fried Yuanxiao. The famous Yuanxiao stalls in Xi’an Huimin Street have fried Yuanxiao. It should be okay to eat fried food once in a while. Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Let’s fry the Lantern Festival together!
