Tang Yuan recipe

Red and white glutinous rice balls known as Tang Yuan is a must for hubby family.

I remembered my late mother-in-law would prepare these red and white balls on the Chinese New Year eve, and we would have a bowl of Tang yuan first, before anything else. She believed in starting the new year with something sweet! A tradition I have been keeping, in remembrance of her!

The only addition to my mom-in-law tradition is that ~ I get everyone involved :P.

My daughter and I, did a quick video (above and below) on 'How to make Tang Yuan'.
Hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed making it :).
