🧂 Ingredients

1 C Glutinous Rice Flour
1/2 C Room Temperature Water

Instructions

1 Mix the glutinous rice flour and water together and knead until it becomes a
soft ball of dough. A texture similar to playdough. It should be soft, not too
sticky also not too dry that it crumbles. Add a little water if it’s too dry, a
bit more rice flour if it’s too wet/sticky.
2 Divide the dough into as many color as you’d like and add your coloring to the
dough! Knead and make sure the color is well-incorporated.
3 Shape them into 1/2 inch or smaller rounds, or get creative and make some
shapes! Cover the dough and finished tang yuan with a towel or keep them in a
container with a lid to keep them from drying out as you’re working.
4 Bring a pot of water to boil, add tang yuan to the pot and boil until all the
tang yuan floats to the top- that means they’re ready!
5 Make a brown sugar ginger broth(6C water, 6TBsp Brown sugar, 1″ thinly sliced
ginger) and bring it to a boil then add the tang yuan to cook till they float.
