Well, today I want to share about how to make Chinese dessert. That’s Tang Yuan. This dessert is so much popular in China, served in many occasions like holiday and festival. The texture of Tang Yuan is soft and chewy maybe you can try this one at home.
To make the black sesame filling, we need black sesame powder or paste. You can try to search some in Asian stores or make your own toasted black sesame and then ground them into powders. In the next post I will share about how to make your own black sesame powder or paste.
Ingredients:
For Black Sesame
• 1 cup toasted black sesame
• 1 cup sugar or as needed
• 1/2 cup of lard or butter, melted
For Tang Yuan
• 2 cups glutinous rice flour
• 1 cup water
Instructions
To make the dough:
1. Mix the glutinous rice flour and water to make the dough. Keep kneading for couple of minutes until the smooth; shape the dough into a long log so that you can make similar pieces in the following step.
2. Take one piece and shape it to a bowl carefully. When shaping the bowl, we need to make the bottom thicker while the other parts uniform. If the bottom is too thin, the balls might break during the shaping process. Then scoop around 1/2 tablespoon to 1 tablespoon black sesame filling into the center. Seal the rice dumpling completely. If you are not skilled at sealing balls, try to shape the filling into balls too. This will make the process easier.
3. Shape the balls as round as possible gently.
4. Bring water to a boiling in a pot (the water should be at least 2 cm higher than the balls); cook the rice dumplings for 5-6 minutes or until they float on the surface.
5. Scoop out with the soup and serve with sugar, or sweet osmanthus or syrup.
Tang Yuan usually is served warm with syrup, sugar or fermented glutinous rice. In some parts of China, people love to eat meat dumplings with a savory soup base. You need to scoop one up and gently take one bite. Then say hello to the lovely filling.
Well, that’s all how to make this popular dessert. I hope you can try and enjoy this one. Have a nice day…
