Tang Yuan~

Oh! It is 'dong zhi' (winter solstice) today. In olden China, people used to get together and eat 'tang yuan' also known as glutinous rice balls; a tradition that has been around up till now. And as usual, every winter solstice, my mum would 'sor yee', which means to roll up glutinous rice dough into balls and boil them in sweetened soup. She likes to add a little red food colouring to the glutinous rice dough ya.

These glutinous rice balls are filled with sasame seeds and ground walnuts ya. They were alittle over boiled but nevertheless still yummie ya~
~*Happy winter solstice*~
