Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and warm water. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth, pliable dough.

2. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.

3. Using your thumb, create a small indentation in the center of each ball and fill with about 1 teaspoon of the black sesame paste (or your desired filling).

4. Gently pinch the dough around the filling to seal it inside.

5. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the filled rice balls and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface.

6. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked tang yuan to a serving bowl. Serve warm, garnished with a light dusting of powdered sugar or toasted sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

– For a more decadent twist, you can also fill the tang yuan with chocolate, peanut butter, or other sweet fillings of your choice.

– These can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in boiling water before serving.
