Glutinous Rice Balls Recipe

[Klaire_Desteen]

Hey everyone! I recently tried making glutinous rice balls, also known as tangyuan, which are a favorite in my family during festive occasions. These sweet, chewy balls filled with sesame or peanut paste are such a comforting treat!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup glutinous rice flour
• 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)
• 1/2 cup black sesame paste or peanut butter
• 1/4 cup sugar (optional, to sweeten the filling)
• 4 cups water (for boiling)
• Optional: sweet ginger syrup or warm water with sugar for serving

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour with water, adding a little at a time, until it forms a smooth dough.
2. Divide the dough into small, equal-sized pieces and roll them into balls.
3. Flatten each ball, place a small amount of sesame paste or peanut butter in the center, then carefully fold the dough over the filling and roll it back into a ball.
4. Bring a pot of water to a boil and gently drop the rice balls into the water.
5. Cook until the rice balls float to the top, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Serve the glutinous rice balls in sweet ginger syrup or warm water with sugar.

I hope you enjoy these glutinous rice balls as much as we do. They’re perfect for celebrating special occasions. Let me know how yours turn out!
