TangYuan 汤圆 — kinda like a sweet mochi dumpling :’) recipe bellow ⬇️

traditionally eaten at the end of Lunar New Year celebrations (Feb 1-15 this year)🧧 but i like having them in the freezer to make a quick, well-balanced breakfast😌 you can also buy them premade in the frozen section of Asian grocery stores

• makes ~20 TangYuan

// INGREDIENTS //
• 3.5 tbsp black sesame seeds (or 3 tbsp toasted black sesame powder)
• 2 tbsp superfine / caster sugar (note: not powdered/confectioners sugar, which is more finely ground)
• pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp lard (or refined coconut oil)

• 1.25 c glutinous (aka sweet mochiko) rice flour
• 1 tsp vegetable oil
• ~150 ml freshly boiled water

// METHOD //
FILLING
• mix toasted black sesame powder, caster sugar, & salt in a bowl
• on stove or in microwave, heat lard until just melted. mix into dry ingredients
• place mix in freezer to harden, then form filling into individual balls (~1/2 tsp each), & return to freezer until ready to use

DOUGH
• in large bowl, add sweet rice flour and oil
• add hot water a little at a time, mixing with chopsticks as you add
• knead with hands until smooth
• tip: cover dough with a moist towel while working to avoid drying out. if dough dries too much, add a little more water

SHAPING
• remove filling from freezer
• make a dough ball a little bigger than the filling ball. with one hand, use thumb to make an indent, and pinch while turning to create a pocket. use other hand to cradle the dough as you shape, to prevent cracking
• press filling ball into pocket, and close the top by folding in open edges
• tip: if filling balls start melting, return to the freezer for a few minutes before continuing

• to cook, drop TangYuan into boiling water and reduce heat to medium. stir occasionally to keep from sticking. when they float, cook for another minute, then spoon into a bowl along with some hot water so that they stay warm
• ENJOY !! :)

// STORING //
• freeze on a a plate lined with parchment paper or sprinkled with glutinous rice flour. when frozen, they can be stored in a container/bag. cook from frozen following same method as from fresh (don’t thaw) by @thingslinadoes
