…or tang yuan (湯圓) eating time!

It’s also a time for family to get together.

A few years ago, I learned how to make black sesame-filled glutinous rice balls because I couldn’t find any locally sourced frozen ones. It’s actually pretty easy.

Check out this recipe from Woks of Life. FYI you can use coconut oil in place of butter but it’s going to be more oozy. I prefer the butter for a better hold.
