Red Bean Tang Yuan

hmm..day before Hari Raya Haji no paper so..
decided to make something fun and nice to eat
made tang yuan or known as glutinous rice ball
chinese specialty I guess
chinese will make this for reunion dinner, 'guo dong'
before chinese new year, almost near end of the year

steps to make red bean tang yuan..

1. buy ingredients of course..
bought glutinous rice flour, sugar, ginger, red bean, pandan leaves and cane sugar (optional)

2. boil red bean soup and make it red bean paste after boiled it
because I only use rice cooker to cook it so I have to smash the red bean by hand..maybe can use blender too



3. boil sweet soup for the rice ball..since there is red bean soup, no need boil also nvm
but for some and the original taste is boil a sweet soup with some ginger and pandan leaves.
can either put normal sugar or cane sugar


4. mix the flour with water. never too many water.
mix it until the mixture wont too dry nor sticky..


5. then make it round round..
is time to play plasticine haha..

this is normal glutinous rice ball


if you prefer something different..
6. put red bean inside it..and roll it round again ^^


if you prefer something more special than that,
mix some red bean paste with the 'mixing' (water+flour)
then put red bean inside and wrap it..

7. put the rice ball into the boiled water and cook it
when the rice ball is cooked, it will flood up..

take it out and put inside cold water..then it wont stick with each other
make sure the water is cold enough, change the water if it is not cold

then the red bean glutinous rice ball can be serve~~

had a great day with roommates haha..
the room is messy and dirty because of this
clean up is the worst part..hate it
because I made this..most of it so...
cleaning part let roommates lo haha..

hope there's another chance to make again ^^
