Celebrate Winter Solstice Festival by Having Some Tangyuan
Happy Chinese Christmas! Haha, that's what mum calls Dong Zhi.I love the Chinese winter solstice festival because I get to get my hands all dirty... because we get to make tangyuan.
I find it funny that we celebrate it in Malaysia even though there is no winter here.
Let's start with the ingredients...
pandan leaf
ginger
colorful glutinous rice flour dough
Start with making the dough into little balls like these:
then boil it:
Serve with the glutinous rice balls in sugar syrup or a red bean drink. Then you're done!
Cute, pretty, and colorful yummy desert for Dongzhi.
Do you celebrate Dongzhi? If you do, what other traditional dishes you usually eat?

Oooo pretty. No Winter in Malaysia? I think I've found where I'm moving to. xD
@s_h_a_sha@xanga - Damn that is hot. It's 32 degrees Fahrenheit here right now, I think that's like 0 Celsius. Maybe I just need to find a happy medium xD

it looks like a yummy dessert o_o. kinda reminds me of sweet rice balls with ginger :3 or something haha.
They are so colorful! I like tongyuan too, but have never made them by myself. When is Dongzhi?
Looks kinda gross.
i recently had this! but i prefer those that are instant. makes me feel like buying the instant one now and gorge myself with tanyuan! yummyyyyy
I like the ones that are big as eyeballs filled with sesame
Chinese mushrooms!! Nomnomnom :3
I've been trying to learn how to cook food like this, stuff from other cultures.
I'm tired of eating American food, especially american food that messes it up.
Alaskans celebrate everything with booze now.
I don't think anyone remembers ever celebrating anything any other way.
Thanks america.
(Sorry for being bitter. The food looks amazing. =D)
Cuuute! I love making these. :3
I celebrate it, but I don't really like eating it. I don't know why.
Wow. Your Tang Yuan's are really cute. I've never seen them so cute.
=} I like ones with filling inside them.
TONG YUAN <3
