These are so ridiculously easy to make it’s almost a shame to buy them.

I’ve wanted to make tang yuan ever since I saw a recipe for it in a Chinese cookbook like two years ago. I was always worried that it was a lot of work though, or required some skill I don’t have the way that most Asian food does. Thankfully these tasty treats don’t require any special tools or knowledge. The only thing that might be difficult to get your hands on is the glutinous rice flour, if you don’t live by an Asian market.

You Will Need (7 things)

  • 125 g Glutinous Rice Flour
  • 100 ml Water
  • Peanut Butter

  • For broth:

  • 1 can Coconut Milk
  • 3 cup Water
  • Sugar to taste

Steps (4 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Mix your water into your glutinous rice flour. You might need more water if your dough is too dry.

  2. 2

    Break your dough into balls, roll out with lightly floured hands and add your filling. You want your dough to be thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges. As you can see my dough is still too dry and this was way too much filling, but I got it right after this.

  3. 3

    Once you get the dough/filling proportions right you close it up and roll them into perfect circles making sure not to break or dimple them.

  4. 4

    Pour your coconut milk, sugar and water into a pan, stirring occasionally. Bring to a boil and drop in your dumplings. Cook until the dumplings begin to float and serve in a bowl with plenty of the sweet broth.
