The black sesame filling in tang yuan is one of my favorite things ever. I love the different sweet soup pairings you share too, I've never tried those. My boyfriend and I typically buy it pre-made, but may now have to venture making it from scratch!

Oh I haven't had homemade tangyuan in years, especially the mini ones without fillings. We used to have those with a simple water chestnut soup.

Thanks for such clear and detailed instructions. Gonna grab some glutinous rice and give it a go this weekend - hope we can find a water-milled brand.

Thanks!! the mini ones are actually quite quick to make from my experience. I never had them savory but seeing a lot of people mention it makes me curious and drool!

water-milled ones should be quite easy to find, I spot them always in small and big asian grocery stores here in Berlin

Literally just and frozen ones yesterday in celebration of the season and those.. most definitely did not even come close to having that satisfying ooze in yours. Thank you for the recipe!

thank you and happy Lantern Festival! I've been eating the frozen ones from the brand sinian (思念) for years and they're quite convenient and quick. the homemade ones have a better dough and the ooze.
