译语翻译分享-北方元宵 PK 南方汤圆，到底怎么吃不胖

按照地方传统，基本上是南方吃汤圆、北方吃元宵。然而，汤圆不等于元宵，它们是有很大差别的，你知道吗？

According to local traditions, they basically eat dumplings in the south and Yuanxiao in the north. However, glutinous rice balls are not equivalent to Yuanxiao, they are very different, do you know?

简单地说，汤圆是「包」出来的，元宵是「摇滚」着出来的。

To put it simply, glutinous rice balls are made with "bags", and Yuanxiao is made with "rock and roll".

汤圆是把生糯米粉先用热水或冷水，和成粉团，然后把各种馅心包进去，搓成圆圆的，表皮光滑黏糯；

For glutinous rice balls, raw glutinous rice flour is first mixed with hot or cold water to form a dough, and then various fillings are wrapped in it and rolled into a round shape with a smooth and sticky surface;

元宵是要先做好固体的馅儿切成小块儿，蘸上水，然后在放满生糯米粉的筛漏上摇啊摇啊摇，边摇边撒点儿水，等馅儿全滚上粉滚成圆球，表皮干燥松软、偏薄。

For the Lantern Festival, the solid stuffing is first made, cut into small pieces, dipped in water, and then shaken on the sieve filled with raw glutinous rice flour, and sprinkle some water while shaking, and wait for the stuffing to roll completely. The powder is rolled into a ball, and the skin is dry, soft and thin.

汤圆馅儿的水分高、软；没有馅儿的小汤圆，常可拿来煮酒酿和各种甜汤；

The fillings of glutinous rice balls are high in moisture and soft; small rice balls without fillings can often be used to cook distilled rice and various sweet soups;

元宵馅儿要干、不能太软，要硬实有咬劲，不然不好「摇滚」成型。

The Lantern Festival stuffing needs to be dry, not too soft, and hard and strong, otherwise it won't be good for "rock and roll" to take shape.

汤圆馅儿可咸可甜、可荤可素，除了最为传统的黑芝麻、五仁、豆沙、山楂馅儿，市面上很多水果馅儿的像草莓、菠萝、榴莲馅儿，也有不少鲜花口味的像茉莉花、玫瑰花、桂花馅儿，有标榜粗杂粮的紫薯、南瓜、栗子馅儿，当然还有挑起「咸甜之争」民族矛盾的梅菜烧肉、香菇鲜肉馅儿。

The fillings of glutinous rice balls can be salty, sweet, and meaty. In addition to the most traditional black sesame, five kernels, bean paste, hawthorn fillings, there are many fruit fillings on the market like strawberry, pineapple, durian fillings, and there are also many flower flavors. They are stuffed with jasmine, rose, and sweet-scented osmanthus, stuffed with purple potato, pumpkin, and chestnut, which advertises coarse grains, and of course, fried pork with plum vegetables and minced mushroom stuffing, which provoked the "sweet and salty controversy."

元宵相对单一都是甜口的，传统点就是黑芝麻、豆沙馅儿，渐渐的也多了各种新口味。

The Lantern Festival is relatively simple and sweet. The traditional ones are black sesame and bean paste, and gradually a variety of new flavors have been added.

汤圆多是煮着吃，也有炒着吃的；元宵多是炸着吃，也可以煮着吃。

Tangyuan is mostly boiled and eaten as well as fried. Yuanxiao is mostly fried or boiled.

汤圆煮熟需要的时间短些，大概 3～5 分钟浮起来就好，煮后的汤是清汤；

The time for glutinous rice balls to be cooked is shorter, about 3~5 minutes to float, the soup after cooking is clear soup;

元宵煮熟需要的时间长些，往往要 10 分钟以上，煮后的汤因为生糯米粉吸水变浑汤

It takes longer for Yuanxiao to cook, usually more than 10 minutes, and the cooked soup becomes muddy because of the absorption of water by the raw glutinous rice flour.

汤圆可以冷冻起来，保质期比较长，全国各地都能买到速冻汤圆，全年也都可以吃到。南方有些地区会在春节、冬至等节气吃汤圆。

Tangyuan can be frozen and has a longer shelf life. Quick-frozen glutinous rice balls can be bought all over the country and can be eaten all year round. In some areas in the south, glutinous rice balls are eaten during the Spring Festival and Winter Solstice.

元宵稍多放几天或者冷冻后，就容易开裂，保质期很短，所以通常都只有北方能够现场制作、当日售卖，更像过节有气氛。

After the Lantern Festival is left for a few days or frozen, it is easy to crack, and the shelf life is very short, so usually only the north can make it on site and sell it on the same day, which is more like a festive holiday atmosphere.

言归正传，很多朋友关心的才不是你到底叫汤圆还是叫元宵，而是到底吃哪个更好、不长胖！

Closer to home, many friends are not concerned about whether you call Tangyuan or Yuanxiao, but which one is better to eat and not to gain weight!

首先，如果能够接受咸口的汤圆（这个真的是看地域的），当然优先选择。因为除了含钠太高之外，鲜肉汤圆是所有口味中碳水化合物最少、蛋白含量最好的的，甚至脂肪含量还比甜口的略低。肉馅儿汤圆，汤中煮点绿叶蔬菜、虾皮、香菇，都是不错的选择。

First of all, if you can accept salty glutinous rice balls (this really depends on the region), of course the first choice. Because in addition to high sodium content, fresh meat dumplings have the least carbohydrates and the best protein content of all flavors, and even the fat content is slightly lower than the sweet ones. Glutinous rice balls with minced meat, green leafy vegetables, shrimp skins, and shiitake mushrooms in the soup are all good choices.

其次，选择传统黑芝麻、豆沙、花生、五仁馅儿的。吃到的还算是比较实在的坚果、杂豆。甜汤圆尽量少用或不用糖水煮；尽量少吃炸汤圆、炒汤圆，减少油脂摄入和不消化。

Second, choose traditional black sesame, bean paste, peanuts, and five-ren fillings. The nuts and mixed beans that were eaten were relatively real. Use sweet glutinous rice balls as little as possible or cook them without sugar; try to eat less fried glutinous rice balls and fried glutinous rice balls to reduce fat intake and indigestion.

然后，可以尝试紫薯、紫米、南瓜这类口味。但是，它们并不像包装广告宣传上的「低热量」、「健康」、「有营养」，毕竟粗、杂粮食材的添加量很有限。有些「木糖醇」配方的可以选择，但仍然不能多吃。

Then, try flavors such as purple sweet potato, purple rice, and pumpkin. However, they are not like the "low-calorie," "healthy," and "nutritious" in the packaging advertisements. After all, the amount of coarse and miscellaneous food materials added is very limited. There are some "xylitol" formulas that you can choose, but you still can't eat more.

最后，才是选择水果、鲜花或巧克力口味的，作为尝鲜就好。水果、鲜花的馅心，往往依赖更多的香精提供风味，而且糖和油的用量一点也不会少；水果本身的维生素 C、纤维素等健康要素，更是不可能在馅里面能吃到。

Finally, choose fruit, flowers or chocolate flavors, just as an early adopter. The fillings of fruits and flowers often rely on more flavors to provide flavor, and the amount of sugar and oil will not be less; the vitamin C, cellulose and other healthy elements of the fruit itself are even more impossible to eat in the fillings .

购买时，请注意观察包装，看下配料表。有的产品会标注「馅心百分比含量」，你会发现馅料 ≥ 25% 的产品要比 ≥ 18% 的价格高。

When purchasing, please pay attention to the packaging and look at the list of ingredients. Some products will be marked with "% of filling content", you will find that the price of filling ≥ 25% is higher than that of ≥ 18%.

汤圆的个头大小是有差异的哈。一般常规大小 20 克 / 个的黑芝麻汤圆或其它甜口汤圆，热量较高约 70 千卡 / 个，吃 4 个确实差不多是一中碗米饭的热量（约 280 千卡）；如果是咸味的鲜肉汤圆，热量稍低些（约 60 千卡 / 个），不过一餐也不宜吃超过 5 个。而像 50 克 / 个的大汤圆，尝个 1 个或 2 个的过过瘾就好。

The size of glutinous rice balls is different. Normally 20 grams/piece of black sesame glutinous rice balls or other sweet glutinous rice balls, the calories are higher about 70 kcal/piece, eating 4 pieces is actually almost the calorie of a medium bowl of rice (about 280 kcal); if it is salty The fresh meat dumplings are slightly lower in calories (about 60 kcal/piece), but it is not advisable to eat more than 5 in a meal. And like 50 grams/piece of dumplings, just try one or two of them.

注意吃过汤圆元宵之后，在正餐时就不要再多吃主食了；睡前 3 小时内也不要吃。

Note that after eating glutinous rice balls and Lantern Festival, do not eat more staple foods at the main meal; do not eat them within 3 hours before going to bed.

吃多了汤圆其实问题也不大，多吃了一颗，只要快速步行 20 分钟，就好啦。

Eating too much glutinous rice balls is actually not a big problem. If you eat one more, you just need to walk for 20 minutes quickly.
