Most of the new qingtuan flavors will quietly disappear, to be replaced by next year's novelties. But a few fillings might become new classics, such as the one that transposes a favorite local appetizer: the minced combo of malantou (a grassy herb) and xianggan (firm tofu). The one I sampled was still warm from the kitchen, with rice dough so pliable and adhesive as to resemble green goo that had been painted onto the filling. #Qingtuan #Qingming #Shanghai #ChineseFood #Asia #青团 #清明 #上海 #中国

With Qingming Festival behind us, it’s time to assess the latest experimentation in qingtuan fillings. Gone are the days when the only acceptable fillings were red bean paste and black sesame. In 2016, a pork floss-salted yolk combo exploded the old ways like a vengeful umami bomb, and we haven't been the same since. This year's entrants include crumbly nuts, creamy tea, cheesy fruit jam, and the ever-contentious durian. #Qingtuan #Qingming #Shanghai #ChineseFood #Asia #青团 #清明 #上海 #中国
