The Winter Solstice Festival or 'Dongzhi' falls on this Sunday, 22nd December. Again, glutinous rice balls called tong yuen/tangyuen generally with sweet fillings are eaten today. For a change, I made them savoury this year, fried with minced meat. It was well received by family members and I was happy as it was treated as a meal!
Recipe for Fried Tang Yuen
- Ingredients
- 150 gm minced pork
- 2 Shitake mushrooms, soaked, stemmed and diced
