Tāngyuán doesn't always have to be sweet. Try making savory sticky rice balls using a food processor for a unique twist. The sticky rice flour is processed with ingredients like minced meat, vegetables, or herbs in the food processor until well mixed. Water is gradually added to form a smooth dough. The dough is divided, filled with a savory filling, and shaped into balls. These Savory Tāngyuán can be cooked in a flavorful broth and served as a delicious appetizer or main course. The combination of the chewy sticky rice balls and the savory filling creates a satisfying and comforting dish.
