About Sesame rice balls

Sesame Rice Balls, known as "Tangyuan" in Chinese cuisine, are delightful bite-sized treats typically enjoyed during festivals or special occasions. Made from glutinous rice flour, these chewy spheres are often filled with a sweet sesame paste and boiled until tender. Originating in China, they symbolize family unity and harmony. Packed with carbohydrates for quick energy, these rice balls offer a source of iron and healthy fats from the sesame filling. However, their high calorie and sugar content may be less suitable for those watching their sugar or calorie intake. Optional variations include savory fillings or lightly sweet versions to suit different preferences. Enjoyed as a dessert or snack, Sesame Rice Balls provide a satisfying blend of texture and flavor, rooted in rich cultural tradition.
