Tang Yuan is a dessert made of glutinous rice balls in a sweet clear soup usually served during the Winter Solstice Festival to mark the arrival of winter.
Winter Solstice Festival, also called Tang Chek in Hokkien/Fujianese or Dong Zhi (冬至) in Mandarin, is a Chinese celebration that usually happens between the 21st and 23rd December. Tang Chek means the "arrival of winter". Traditionally, farmers would lay down their tools and celebrate the harvest by going home to their families. A feast is prepared to mark the occasion. On this day everyone becomes one year older. It is also the day when the sun has reached the Tropic of Capricorn. Therefore, it is the longest night of the year in the northern hemisphere.

The significance of Tang Yuan (Glutinous Rice Balls)

There is always some special food associated with Chinese festivals. For this one, families get together to make and eat Kuih Ee/Ee Th'ng or Tang Yuan (湯圓), a dessert made of glutinous rice balls in a sweet clear soup. The roundness of the Kuih Ee signifies togetherness. In Malaysia, premixed colored dough is sold at the wet markets. The favorite colors are red, green, and yellow. Most people will buy the dough and form the balls at home, an activity much enjoyed by the kids. The sweet soup is made of a simple syrup flavored with pandan leaves and ginger.

A Celebration of Togetherness

I have to admit that while I enjoyed rolling and forming the balls as a kid, this is not exactly a favorite dessert of mine. The glutinous rice balls are way too doughy for my liking. However, when I moved here, I realized that the tang yuan sold at the Asian grocery stores usually came with a filling of black sesame seed, lotus seed, or red bean paste. Now, that made a huge difference as I do like all three types of filling. Since I had some red bean paste left over from making mooncakes, I went ahead and used that for the filling. I am glad I did.

Ro-Taro (eldest son) returned home from campus two days ago for the holidays and it was a time of celebration and togetherness for us. What better time to make these than yesterday so that we could enjoy them together. The soft and chewy glutinous rice balls with the red bean paste filling were delicious in the sweet and fragrant syrup. I would definitely make these again!

Time for Another Round of Nona-Nona

This month's theme for Nona-Nona is DECEMBER, selected by my blogging buddy Denise. It can be any foods related to the month of December, be it Yuletide or any other seasonal or year-end specialties. For the month of October we both made the same dish. You can check out our past challenges here. She decided that we should have a broad theme this time so that we can better surprise each other and not have that happen again. I immediately thought of Tang Chek and Ee Th'ng instead of goodies for Christmas. Hopefully Denise will keep with the Christmas theme. Let's hop over to Singapore Shiok! to see what she has cooked up in her kitchen.
