For a refreshing twist, fruit-filled Tāngyuán is a popular variation of the traditional recipe. Instead of the usual sweet fillings, these sticky rice balls are filled with fresh fruits like diced mango, strawberry, or lychee. The fruit adds a burst of juiciness and natural sweetness to the dumplings, creating a delightful contrast with the chewy texture of the rice balls. The fruit-filled Tāngyuán can be served in a light syrup or even in a bowl of coconut milk for a tropical twist. This fruity version of Tāngyuán is perfect for those who prefer a lighter and more refreshing dessert.
