Ginger glutinous rice balls, also known as ginger tangyuan, are a warming and comforting dessert commonly enjoyed in Chinese cuisine. These sticky rice balls are made by mixing glutinous rice flour with water to form a dough, which is then flavored with grated ginger. The dough is rolled into small balls and cooked in boiling water until they become soft and chewy. The cooked rice balls are then served in a warm sweet soup made from rock sugar, water, and ginger slices. The combination of the soft and chewy rice balls with the spicy and aromatic ginger creates a soothing and invigorating dessert.
