Winter solstice is tomorrow!! Just finished helping my mum to make tang yuan. ^^
It brings back all the childhood memory in my grandma's house whenever i see tang yuan. My siblings, cousins and i used to mixed up all the colour and roll it into a huge ball. We loved to compete for "most creative tang yuan" or "biggest tang yuan". Every time it also ended with scolding and shooing off the kitchen by our aunt or grandma. Hahha..
I think most people add food colouring to make red and yellow tang yuan. You might not aware of the dangers of food colouring. .Just click the link to read more bout it. So, instead of adding chemicals into tang yuan, why don't add some natural colouring?
Here's the secret of my mum's healthy tang yuan. :)
 |
| Pineapple |
 |
| Dragon fruit |
If you wish to have red colour, add in watermelon juice. Dragon fruit's colour is more to purple.
 |
| Pandan leaf |
 |
| Orange |
Oranges do not give rise to orange colour, so if you want orange colour tang yuan, please use carrot or papaya.
 |
| plain tang yuan |
By adding fruit juice into the glutinous rice flour, it will give some colour to your tang yuan and fruity flavour to it too!
冬至快乐
