Glutinous Rice Balls 糯米糍
The filling recipes included are black sesame/walnut and coconut/ peanut. But there are lots of variations you can incorporate…. Popular fillings include red bean paste, mung bean paste, lotus seed paste, durian, mango, ice-cream, or even meat fillings. With all soft fillings like durian and ice-cream, you’ll need to freeze them into ball shapes for easy wrapping. You may want to colour the skin with food colour or natural colour. I put Butterfly Pea tea in the coconut milk to make it blue. I used cooked glutinous rice flour to cover the outside of the skin. Roasted soy powder, shredded coconut and ground peanuts are also popular options. Storage: They can keep at room temperature for a day but best to freeze them if you’re not consuming on the day you make them. Thaw for approx. 2 hours or until it softens before eating. They taste quite fresh even after freezing.

Peanut Yuan Xiao 花生元宵
I made a peanut filling for this recipe, however you can also use my Black Sesame Rice Balls [https://auntieemily.com/black-sesame-rice-balls/] recipe for the black sesame filling. Pretty much anything can be made into Yuan Xiao. Meat balls, taro, yams, cane sugar, red bean paste, mung bean paste, chestnut paste, pumpkin and much more. You can cut these into cubes and layer on the glutinous rice flour. The soup can be sweet or it can also be a savoury broth.

Chocolate Rice Balls 朱古力湯圓
This recipe is really easy because we won’t be making a filling. Choose chocolates that are round and melty for best results. I used Ferrero Rocher, Lindor, and Maltesers. The chocolate part of the Maltesers melted, but the crunchy part did not which gave the rice ball an interesting texture. The centre of the Ferrero Rocher also did not melt so you still get a bit of the crispy wafer. Sooo yum! The recipe for the dough will make approx. 270g of dough. I used 20g of dough for the Ferrero Rocher and Lindor and only 5g for the Maltesers. So you can make approx. 13 big ones with this recipe.
