Sweet Rice Balls Tangyuan 湯圓

I don’t know what to call these in English.

Fantastic warm sweet dessert especially good on cool evenings.

Buy frozen and then throw them in boiling water for 10 minutes

There are many types I just happened to pick the Skippy peanut butter ones. Taiwan friends like the black sesame ones.

Not low carb friendly.

Eh bit of brown sugar and ginger in the water for better flavor.

In SEA they put pandan leaves and coconut sugar.

Those Guiguan ones go real nice in a bowl of “jiuniang” semi-brewed rice. Good spot to pick up a jar here. Throw in as much sugar as you like and drop in an egg, killer

English name is the Pinyin without tone marks. Tangyuan.

Egg and tang yuan? This offends me.

It’s like egg drop soup, but it’s sweet alcoholic rice with cheap frozen stuff-in-middle tang yuan in it.

Luckily, Taiwanese have elected cat lovers who promote tangyusn consumption.

I don’t know how I missed out on this thread 4 years ago, but since it’s almost time for the first 湯圓 festival of 2025, I’m resurrecting this thread to declare the English name for 湯圓 is round thingy. That’s how I’ve said it circa 1998.
