Something Round, Something Sweet
Of all the old-fashioned foods that must appear at the Chinese New Year Dinner table, tang yuan is my absolute all-time favourite.
I make them! I can tell you it is fiddly work all the way.
But this time of the year, I find it therapeutic to roll dozens and dozens of those sweets-filled balls.
It allows me to block out the thought of all the people I HAVE to see and be nice to over the next several days.
So far I have made them with peanut/black sesame/tau sar-fillings.
And of course I also made the red-dyed no-filling ones for good measure.
I can be so traditional when the mood strikes.
