Tangyuan is a traditional Chinese dessert that is enjoyed during the Lantern Festival, which marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. It is a sweet glutinous rice ball filled with sweet or savory ingredients and served in a hot, sweet soup.

The dough for tangyuan is made from glutinous rice flour and water, which is shaped into small balls and then filled with a variety of sweet or savory fillings such as red bean paste, sesame paste, peanut butter, or minced meat. Once the filling is added, the balls are shaped into round shapes and then boiled in a pot of water until they are cooked and become soft and chewy.

Tangyuan is often served in a sweet soup made from sugar, water, and sometimes ginger. The soup is heated until it boils, and then the tangyuan are added and cooked for a few minutes until they are fully cooked and the soup has thickened.

Tangyuan is a delicious and comforting dessert that is enjoyed by people of all ages. Its soft and chewy texture, combined with the sweetness of the filling and the warm soup, make it a perfect treat on a cold winter day.
