Learn how to make winter solstice tangyuan at the Michelin-starred Ming Court

We started with the filling of the tangyuan, which is made of peanut sauce, sesame seeds, sugar, vegetables and sesame oil. The ingredients are mixed to form a filling similar to a paste, which we put in the refrigerator to solidify.

Next we created the outside wrap of the tangyuan, which consists of wheat flour, regular flour, glutinous rice flour, sugar and water. It was similar to making dough – we basically put the ingredients together and kneaded them.

Then we brought out the cold filling, scooped out small round balls and wrapped them in the dough. Once that was done, we steamed the tangyuan, then rolled the dumplings in peanut powder, and they were ready to go.
