Sticky rice balls, also known as Tāngyuán, are a traditional Chinese dessert often enjoyed during festivals and special occasions. This innovative recipe takes the classic sticky rice balls and fills them with a delicious red bean paste. The sticky rice balls are made by mixing glutinous rice flour with water to form a dough, which is then shaped into small balls. The red bean paste is made by cooking red beans with sugar until they become soft and sweet. The sticky rice balls are then boiled until they float to the surface, indicating that they are cooked. The cooked sticky rice balls are served in a warm, sweet syrup made from water and sugar. The combination of the chewy sticky rice balls and the creamy red bean paste creates a delightful texture and flavor that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
