Description

Glutinous rice balls or Tang Yuan is a traditional Chinese dessert that is commonly served during festivals, particularly during the winter solstice and the Lantern Festival. These sweet and chewy rice balls are made from glutinous rice flour and can be filled with sweet or savory fillings.

Prep Time

Preparing the glutinous rice balls can take up to 2 hours, depending on the number of servings.

Cook Time

Cooking the glutinous rice balls takes about 10 minutes.

Ingredients

For the dough:
  • 2 cups glutinous rice flour
  • 3/4 cup water
  • Food coloring (optional)
For the filling:
  • 1/2 cup sweetened red bean paste or peanut butter (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sugar (optional)

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Strainer
  • Rolling pin
  • Parchment paper
  • Large pot

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and water. Mix until it forms a smooth dough. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to the dough and mix well.
  2. In a separate small mixing bowl, mix together the sweetened red bean paste, sesame seeds, and sugar until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Take a small piece of dough (about 1 tablespoon) and flatten it with your hands. Place a small amount of the filling in the center of the dough.
  4. Gently mold the dough around the filling, making sure to seal the edges tightly. Roll the dough between your palms to form a smooth ball. Repeat until all the dough and filling have been used.
  5. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently drop the glutinous rice balls into the boiling water and stir gently to prevent them from sticking together. Cook for about 10 minutes or until they float to the surface.
  6. Remove the glutinous rice balls from the pot with a slotted spoon and place them in a bowl of cold water for a few seconds to stop the cooking process.
  7. Drain the glutinous rice balls and place them on a piece of parchment paper to cool.
