A popular snack all over China, tang yuan are filled with red bean, sesame, peanut, and other sweet fillings that ooze out from the middle.
The tang yuan are served in their cooking liquid, which doubles as a soothing broth.
You'll find packets of frozen tang yuan at most Chinese supermarkets, and these days the fillings not only come in the standard assortment, but have branched out into fancy-sounding ones like "sweet osmanthanus" and "chestnut and sesame seeds." Why then, take the trouble of making your own at home?Why not? The dough for tang yuan is a simple combination of glutinous rice flour, regular rice flour, and water.
Or, if you've always found the red bean filling in supermarket tang yuan to be bland, you can make your own from dried adzuki beans. Coconut flakes are a great addition to fillings of any kind.
