Sweet Osmanthus Jiuniang Tang Yuan 桂花酒酿汤圆



It is winter solstice (冬至) today in lunar calendar, the tradition in my home is to have Tang Yuan, a type of glutinous rice ball cooked and served in sweet soup.

I made some Tang Yuan with my son A in the morning and made this Sweet Osmanthus Jiuniang Tang Yuan for breakfast, a hearty breakfast in below zero degree winter morning!

今天是冬至,在我家乡那是吃汤圆的日子,每年的冬至那天我们都会围着厨房的桌子帮妈妈搓汤圆,汤圆的经历应该是家乡每个孩子学习搓圆子的第一步吧!

今早和儿子一起边听儿歌“卖汤圆”边搓了些汤圆,然后做了一碗桂花酒酿汤圆做早餐,零下的温度喝一碗酒酿汤圆很舒服哦!

1 cup Glutinous rice flour
1/2 cup warm water 
1/2 tsp of Ang Chow  or a few drops of red food coloring

4. In another pot, bring a half pot of water to boil, drop the rice balls into the water and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the rice balls started floating on water. 

5. Lightly beat the egg, just a spatula to stir the Osmanthus syrup in circular motions to form swirls, with the help of a fork, drips egg into the syrup to make egg drops.

6. Take the cooked rice balls out and place into the syrup, add 3 tbsp of Jiuniang into the soup, serve warm.

1. 把糯米粉和温水和成一个软粉团后把粉团分成两半。在一半的粉团里加入半勺的红糟揉成粉红色的粉团。

2. 把粉团分成小份揉成小丸子,也可以两色混合做成混色的。
