Tangyuan, Chinese Glutinous Rice Balls with Black Sesame (黑芝麻汤圆)

Tangyuan! They're a classic sweet snack made around Chinese New Year, specifically for the Lantern Festival. While there's a ton of different fillings and soups, the dough is made out of glutinous rice flour and... not much else.

For this video we decided to go with a classic filling - Black Sesame. The soup is a traditional Cantonese soup, made from ginger and slab sugar.

Learn how to cook real deal, authentic Chinese food! We post recipes every Tuesday (unless we happen to be travelling) :)

We're Steph and Chris - a food-obsessed couple that lives in Shenzhen, China. Steph is from Guangzhou and loves cooking food from throughout China - you'll usually be watching her behind the wok. Chris is a long-term expat from America that's been living in China and loving it for the last nine years - you'll be listening to his explanations and recipe details, and doing some cooking at times as well.

This channel is all about learning how to cook the same taste that you'd get in China. Our goal for each video is to give you a recipe that would at least get you close to what's made by some of our favorite restaurants here. Because of that, our recipes are no-holds-barred Chinese when it comes to style and ingredients - but feel free to ask for tips about adaptations and sourcing too!
