Tiana's Kitchen~湯圓 Tang Yuan for Lantern Festival!

This is a recipe for traditional food for Lantern Festival, which was this past Sunday!

This will contain many photos!



FILLING:

Photobucket
this is the cheater method. Use black sesame powder :D we use 多多 brand. this is 4 packs

Photobucket
Vegetable shortening

Photobucket
add about two spoonfuls

Photobucket
mix it up! It should be a smooth paste when you are done

Photobucket
roll them into little marble-sized balls

Photobucket
put in freezer overnight!
So easy!

OUTER SIDE

Photobucket
one and a half package of glutinous rice flour (16 oz packs)
since we don't measure, just go by feeling! It will most likely turn out fine

Photobucket
add little bit of water to form little pancakes with a little bit of the flour like this

Photobucket
cook in boiling water. They will float when done

Photobucket
toss them into the rest of the flour! This makes the outside extra Q (like chewy, but not gooey chewy, just... Q chewy.... yea)

Photobucket
knead the flour with the cooked pieces and add water until it becomes smooth dough

Photobucket
it should look beautiful

Photobucket
break into small pieces. Keep the extra dough covered in the bowl to keep it from drying out

Photobucket
Flatten into a round. Keep the center thicker than the edges so when you overlap the edges to seal it they will not become too thick

Photobucket
place filling in center

Photobucket
wrap up the filling

Photobucket
roll it smooth!

Photobucket
it should look beautiful

You can add food coloring too! or make plain ones with no filling! Just make the dough into little balls!
