EXCELLENT video! But I wonder, Tang Yuanr are a very traditional food, certainly made in areas with no refrigeration (let alone freezers!) in years past-- I wonder how was this made without the use of refrigeration?

I think freezing the filling is much easier and less messy so in the past they probably just flattened the rice dough in hand and put the soft filling inside carefully then pinched the dough until i was sealed

[@hwchen39]

I think it could be because tangyuan are traditionally made for the lantern festival which is fifteen days following the lunar new year, so they would be made during a time where it is cold outside (nowadays Lantern Festival usually falls in Feburary), which would help the filling be firm enough to wrap. Traditionally there are also multiple ways to make tangyuan. Some roll the filling into balls and coat them with layers of glutinous rice flour to form the skin, others wrap them in a dough!

Nice video! I will make this recipe soon! Your videos definitely need more recognition 🤍

[@dorianalexander2730]

I got these but they had like strawberry and I think hazelnut in them and I gave them a try but the texture was just too strange for me. And I love Gluttonous rice ;-; yours look very very pretty tho

[@emcee7670]

Sometimes we have (in Beijing) plain sugar in the middle, but the black sesame is better I think! Certainly traditional!

Isn't 57 grams around 1/2 US cup? I looked at the amount of sesame powder you put into the bowl, and that is definitely not 1 1/2 cups.

[@devintheguru]

57 gms is a weight measurement, so depending on the fineness or coarseness of the powder, you might be over or under 1½ quarter cup (which is I think what he meant). I also saw the 1½ cups and thought that was weird. That's 12 oz of volume instead of 2 oz, so go with the 2-3 oz, 😆
