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. They are often served in a warm, sweet broth made from water and sugar. 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 meaningful dish for celebrations and family gatherings.
