During Lunar New Year, many families consume tang yuan, or glutinous rice balls, to symbolize reunion and togetherness. They are considered a “good luck” food to bring in a peaceful and happy new year. We made a sweet version with black sesame seed and peanut fillings, but they can also be customized with your favorite fillings, such as chocolate or red bean. They are traditionally boiled, but can also be deep fried for more indulgence! Happy Lunar New Year!
