This tang yuan recipe features delicate and chewy spheres of glutinous rice flour enveloping sweet black sesame fillings that gently float in a warm sweetened ginger broth.
This savory tang yuan is a classic dish that Mama Lin makes to celebrate the winter solstice. My mom never measures any of the ingredients, so I’ve streamlined her recipe below. The tang yuan dough is very forgiving. If it’s feeling dry, add a splash of water; if it’s feeling wet, add more flour. That’s exactly how my mom would make the dough.I use a scale to measure my flour and a few other ingredients, and I recommend doing the same if you have one.To make the glutinous rice balls, you must use glutinous rice flour. We typically use Erawan brand’s glutinous rice flour (from Thailand), which comes in see-through plastic bags with a green label. You can find the flour in Asian grocery stores or on Amazon. Do not use regular rice flour, as the rice balls will not turn chewy. If glutinous rice flour is difficult for you to find, you can try using sweet rice flour (such as Mochiko). Note that sweet rice flour/Mochiko tends to be a coarser grind compared to Thai-style glutinous rice flour, so the rice balls won’t be as silky soft.When cooking the daikon, my mom likes to sweeten it with yellow rock sugar, which she purchases in Asian grocery stores (also available on Amazon). Many of you probably don’t have that in your pantry, so you can use granulated or any other type of sugar.
In Chinese culture, tang yuan 汤圆, mochi-like glutinous rice dumplings, are often eaten during the holidays as a symbol of family unity and harmony.
In my vegan tang yuan recipe, I am serving the dish with daikon, carrots, yu choy, shiitake mushrooms, and fried shallots. Feel free to mix and match whatever vegetables you prefer.
