Hi Happy Yuan Xiao, dear bloggers and friends! Hope you all have enjoyed the tang yuan today. As much as I can, I make it a point to have tang yuan with my family every 15th day of the Lunar New Year. The Chinese believe that eating tang yuan is symbolic of a closely knitted family, 甜甜蜜蜜，圆圆满满. Tang yuan is made of glutinuous rice flour wich is no good for those who have indigestion problem, I advise not to eat too much.

20g rice flour
120g hot water
80g room temperature water or coconout milk
2 teaspoon fine sugar

pandan leaves
Coating ingredients: Mix toghether
roasted peanuts (diced/chopped)
roasted sesame seeds
fine sugar
Brown sugar sweet soup or rock sugar sweet soup: Boil together until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
4 bowls water
1 thumb size ginger
2 pcs pandan leaves

1) Mix rice flour, glutinous rice flour, sugar and water together. Knead into smooth dough. Divide dough into 3 to 4 portions, and add each different colour to each portion respectively, and roll into small balls.
