Tangyuan is a traditional Chinese dessert made from glutinous rice flour, which gives it a chewy texture. These round dumplings are typically filled with sweet fillings such as sesame paste, red bean paste, or peanut butter. Tangyuan is often served in a warm, sweet soup made from water and sugar, making it a comforting treat. Tangyuan is especially popular during the Lantern Festival and the Winter Solstice, symbolizing family unity and togetherness. The round shape of the dumplings represents completeness and reunion, making them a significant dish during festive celebrations in Chinese culture.
