Youth League

Introduction:

"Every year on Tomb Sweeping Day, food is prepared for the festival. In our hometown, Tomb Sweeping Day is usually a simple boiled egg. I remember when I was a child, on Tomb Sweeping Day, children would take eggs to school, and then "touch eggs" to see whose eggs are harder. The Youth League is mainly popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Qingming Festival food, but the practice is slightly different. Generally speaking, it is a kind of glutinous rice food with stuffing dyed green, with sweet stuffing, salty stuffing, meat stuffing and vegetable stuffing. Generally, wormwood is used for dyeing, but some people don't like the taste, so friends who like it can also use other green vegetable juices instead. About fillings, there are bamboo shoots with potherb mustard, sweet scented osmanthus, sesame, scallion, etc. today, what I do is the most common bean paste stuffing. I cooked it myself. "
