Tang Yuan

This coming Sunday is Winter Solstice.
My parents were here during last weekend, but dad went home on Monday and mom with godsister are still here at my house. So while both parents were still around on Sunday, mom made tangyuan for us, and as usual her tangyuan are always so colourful and attractive.

The dough

Every lady in the house helped to make the tangyuan including Bb-G





















Cooked the tangyuan in boiling water till all the balls floated on top of the pot

Transferred all the tangyuan into another pot of cold water. This is to ensure the chewy or "q" texture













I suggested to mom a new way of eating tangyuan for this round. Instead of the normal ginger soup,
I heat-up a pot of unsweeten soya bean drink (bought earlier) with dried longan. Added some Gula Melaka to give a nice aroma and sweetness to the "soya soup" 

Once the soup was ready, put in the cooked colourful tangyuan. Yummy yummy...Glad that everyone loved it !
