Making Tang-yuan for Lantern Festival!

Happy Lantern Festival! Yuánxiāo jié kuàilè! 元宵节快乐

Lantern Festival is the 15th day of the New Year and signifies the end of New Year celebrations. On this day, not only red lanterns are hung and lit in the night sky under a full moon, but Tang Yuan are eaten as well. Tang Yuan are sticky dumplings made of rice flour with various fillings inside. Very delicious too!

So this time, during our cultural lesson we made Tang Yuan together with our students and teachers. Of course w...e ate them too! It was so much fun! Below you can find a recipe of Tang Yuan and you should try to make these tiny dumplings at home as well.

Black Sesame and Peanut Filling
 

1. Separately roast the black sesame seeds and peanuts.
2. Grind the sesame seeds into a fine powder. Do the same with peanuts as well in a separate bowl. Mix the powder with brown sugar.
Dough
1. Mix the rice flour with 1 cup cold water, until a soft dough is formed. Knead together until smooth.
2. Take a small piece of dough and pat into a round disk. Place the sesame seed or peanut powder in the centre, and gently pinch and roll the dough around the ball. You should not be able to see the sesame through the dough. Add more dough if needed.
3. Once all the Tang Yuan have been formed, cook immediately.

Ginger Syrup
1. In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the ginger slices and brown sugar. Cook for 5 minutes, and then drop in the Tang Yuan. Maintain at a gentle boil. They will be ready once they are translucent and have floated to the top.
