Tāng Yuán (湯圓)
You can buy frozen tāng yuán in the supermarket, but it’s not that difficult to make. Simply mix glutinous rice flour with water to make a dough. Place it in the refrigerator for about half an hour, then take it out and form it into small balls.
The balls are boiled in water until they float, and then put in a syrup of rock sugar and water that has been prepared separately.
