Pumpkin glutinous rice balls, also known as pumpkin tangyuan, are a seasonal and comforting dessert commonly enjoyed in Chinese cuisine. These sticky rice balls are made by mixing glutinous rice flour with water and mashed pumpkin to form a dough. 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 pumpkin puree. The combination of the soft and chewy rice balls with the subtle sweetness of pumpkin creates a cozy and flavorful dessert perfect for autumn.
