| California Raisins Tang Yuen Recipe |
What inspired me to create this ‘East Meets West’ dessert by using California Raisins as Tang Yuen filling is that California Raisins has many health benefits and it's sweet naturally. Therefore, this makes Tang Yuen tastes sweet for the filling and every bite is burst with natural goodness.
Happy Winter Solstice!
California Raisins are
naturally sweet without any added sugar, source of fiber, nutrients, and they
can also be incorporated in any dishes and desserts. As you can see how I added
California Raisins as the filling in my Tang Yuen, not only it taste sweet on
the inside but also elevate the whole presentation of the dish. Raisins are
ideal for any occasion, as they are ready-to-eat, tasty and healthy.

Methods
1. Mix the glutinous
flour and add in water little by little, knead until dough does not stick to
your hand or mixing bowl.
2. Separate the dough
into 3 portions, the plain dough, the remaining 2 doughs add in 1 or 2 drops of
food coloring to make the pink and green dough.
3. Pinch the dough
into small and medium balls and roll them in between your palms into round
balls. Set aside on a flat surface with a bit of flour on the surface to avoid
the balls stick on the surface.
4. Take a piece of
medium dough ball and flatten. Then place the California Raisins in the middle.
Wrap the dough around the filling and roll into a smooth ball. Repeat the same
with the rest of the medium balls. And we have made glutinous rice balls with
California Raisins.

5. To cook the
glutinous rice balls, first boil a pot of water. Then add in the glutinous rice
balls. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for 5 minutes or until the
glutinous rice balls float onto the surface of the water.
6. Sieve out all the
cooked glutinous rice balls and place them into a bowl of cold water for about
1 minute. This will make the rice balls more chewy.
7. Then boil water, add sugar to make syrup, and then place glutinous rice balls into syrup. It's ready to be served.
