Homemade Rolled Yuanxiao (Cranberry Version with Cheese)

Overview

Today is the Lantern Festival. I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival. I have been very busy recently. I worked late last night and rolled some Yuanxiao to post a tutorial. Yes, we in the north eat Yuanxiao on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Although glutinous rice balls have taken over the place in recent years, Yuanxiao still insists on being itself and continues to roll and roll, haha~ There are also many northerners who still love the rolled Yuanxiao, such as me. The method of making Yuanxiao this time is still more traditional, but the fillings are more special~ The filling is special because it not only contains the commonly used black sesame seeds, chopped peanuts and my personal favorite pine nuts, but also adds cranberries and chopped cheese. It is an absolute combination of Chinese and Western, bringing a different taste~
