cores , dip them slightly in water and roll them in a flat basket
containing dry glutinous rice flour. A layer of the .flour will be stuck
on the fillings, which are dipped again in water and rolled again in the
rice flour. And so it goes on snowballing until the dumplings grow to
the desired size.
Yuanxiao dumplings must be boiled in the right way. First bring
a pot of water to a boil on strong fire. Drop in the dumplings gently
and, when they float up on the water a few minutes later, keep them in
the pot for a few more minutes to make the inside well cooked. But at
this stage , the fire must be reduced . for dumplings boiled in rolling
water may burst open. To make sure that this does not happen, some
cold water may be added little by little into the pot to keep the water
simmering instead of boiling.
Task 4. Read about another kind of dumplings. Fill in the
prepositions by, in, of. Mind some of them can be used more than
once.

southern parts of China. It was customary in old Beijing for people to

the Great Wall." There are, however, others who would not endorse
this opinion.
