Hi Pailin, just wondering, if I can make them in advance and freeze them for later use? If so, should I cook them before freezing?

Oh my gosh this is one of my favourite dishes. My parents make it all the time whenever I go home to visit them. A tip for the glutinous rice flour and water mixture: I alternate between smaller amounts of water and the flour so that you can get the right texture. That way if you happen to add too much water, you still have flour left over to fix your mistake (and vice versa). Thank you for sharing this video!

Oh my god that 1/4 teaspoon salt makes all the difference! The first time I made those rice balls I forgot to add the salt and it felt like something was missing; this time I made sure I add the salt and it’s soooooooo good!!!

Every Asian has that type of spoon in their home. 😂 It’s really an Asian spoon staple.

some people fills them with sweet yam paste, sweet ground peanuts and sweet ground black sesame and serves them in sweet soybean curd and milk or sweet peanut soup etc. so good! ( and we usually have them during the festive season to signify gathering and togetherness!

Yep, any kind of nutty filling will do. And pork/vegetable filling is also quite popular here in Shanghai. Of course you don't serve a savory dish in sweet soups, therefor the water in which the dumplings are boiled is served instead. I know it's a most unique take on Tang Yuan/Tong Yun, but I don't think it hurts to give it a try.

I tried few similar recipies to this in Hong Kong, with their unique coffee and tea... its quite depressing not being able to find that again..but can't afford to travel so far for a meal ... lol

This, this is how you make a recipe video. All the necessary tips, no unnecessary personal long stories and inside jokes, all the measures, just perfect. I'm gonna subscribe!

"Tea is steaping and filling is chilling" so cute

My family adds pandan leaves into the tea too! We usually get store bought tang yuan - so thanks for this awesome recipe Pai, now I'll make it at home instead! ❤️

I think another good indicator to see if the seeds are roasted is picking a couple and pressing them between your fingers, if they disintegrate in a powder they are roasted, if they stay the same they are still raw. Or at least is what I did once when I toasted raw sesame seeds

On the other hand this is also very do-able for me, as a college student! I bought a pre-grinded sesame powder because i don’t have a grinder, and made my ginger tea in my instant pot along with pandan leaves added in. I don’t have pots and pans even though i have a stove, so i just microwaved my coconut oil to make it melt. I made this several times before knowing Pailin’s recipe and the most useful tip to brush the oil on my palm. Makes so much difference!

I can't count how many times I've burnt the roof of my mouth eating these recklessly

Omg thank you so much! I never knew that the red rice flour bag isnt for mochi making, no wonder mine always failed! This is so informative and helpful, i look forward to giving this a try!

I love how you explain things with alternatives too

I can watch you all day, you’re so entertaining! I’ll wait fot your next video.

Love this Tang Yuan, beside Black Sesame Peanut & Red Bean Paste also taste good too.

Beautiful woman. Your smile and persona keeps me watching your videos as well as your passion. Keep up the great work.

I love love black sesame paste!!! Thank you super very much!!! Finally a proper paste I can make!!

Love this dessert! My dad used to make black sesame rice pudding and said it helped keep his hair black!!

I LOVE these....and never, ever, thought this was doable at home!! I'm having a moment lol. Thank you!

I cant cook but i love watching your vdeos, beautiful Pai.

I LOVE this dessert. I'm from Had Yai as well. During my childhood, this dessert and other Chinese inspired desserts (เต้าทึง เต้าฮวย รวมมิตร etc.) are especially well-known and popular there. I miss them so much.

I just found your channel, and I am so excited. I love food from all over Asia and have an extensive cookbook selection (now I want to add yours. I've always purchased these from the Asian grocery stores I shop at, because I thought they would be a terror to make. I have all of the ingredients at home, so I am definitely trying them in the next couple days. I assume it would be similar for the ones filled with red bean paste and covered in sesame seeds. I cannot wait to watch more of your videos!! Thanks for sharing!!

I made these for CNY and your recipe’s works like wonder! Thank you 😊

I had the luck of trying some of these at a church I would go to as a kid and I’m obsessed with Asian deserts So grateful to have been able to try these!

I've loved these forever, but never knew they'd be so easy to do. Will be giving this a try tomorrow! Thank you for giving me something to do in self-isolation!

I also use those Thai spoons. One of the greatest inventions. It can be used as a spoon, tiny bowl, knife, and a measuring device. Thin enough to cut cooked foods but strong enough to never warp because of the angles built into the spoon.

Thanwarin Carroll that’s why there’s a better version in Vietnam which they change black sesame to green beans. I prefer that one 👌🏻

Pai it is just so amazing how much culinary traditions are so much conserved across counties which do not share boundaries. I am from South India and believe me we have exactly the same rice dumpling with black sesame filling. The only difference is along with sesame we add coconut to the filling, the dough is made with regular rice flour since we dont get glutinous rice flour and instead of boiling the dumpling we steam it. Apart from these three differences everything else is the same. Of course the dumpling are eaten alone not with any tea. I see lot of similarities between Thai cuisine and South Indian cuisine. This could be because Indians did had some connections with South East Asian countries centuries back.

I bet gappy loves these

We have similar like that in Indonesia, in Bali no Java island especially we using ground peanut since sesame isn’t really our rain staple. In some variations we also put cooked tody palm in syrup

I went to a restaurant and they made a "dry" version. Once boiled, they roll it in ground almond/peanut eat along side with ginger tea. Super good !

tang yuan is pretty easy to make even for kids when you get the dough right. in china it's common to make it at home or everybody sit around the table to make it together. i learned it when i was 9 or 10 from mom because we had a competition in class at school so i never thought it was something impossible to make it ourselves! the easiest filling is chopped brick shaped cane sugar (pian tang in chinese) so when it's boiled the sugar will melt inside;) then the frozen rice balls became more common products in supermarket later so we made it less often and we enjoy different fillings which we don't make at home.

You are so beautiful, charismatic and talented! Thank you for this video. I will be making it with my sons. :)

definitely want to try make this!

Timely! Just thought about this dish when it's getting cold and wet. Thanks for the detailed techniques.

What coincidence, I bought this morning from supermarket, I plan to boil it tomorrow.

remind my favorite dessert from my childhood ( I think first time in china town , YaoWaRat , Bangkok , Thailand ) until today still one of the most my fav. thank you for the demo , i will try to make my own one day... thank you to bring my time back.....

Beautiful recipe. I love this dish!

I love this recipe - simple, delicious and just the right sweetness!

Thank you so much P'Pai. I really wanted to learn that. Love you 😍😍😍

thanks for sharing, have just tried your recipe..

just tried it -- it's my new favorite dessert! and it's quite a light one so thats real nice

I love your channel and recipes and to be honest really really "wink" like you too. I just ordered Thai chili paste and Thai chilies to make your Tom Yum Spaghetti. I had an authentic Thai restaurant that I loved right down the road that had to shut down because of this Covid nightmare. I will miss you Chalita! I used to order full on "10" on the heat scale and loved it. She offered to teach me how to cook Thai, but work keeps me really busy. Thank you so much and I am learning from you now, Chalita would be happy.

Love this. Thank you Ms Pai

I just tried to make some before watching the video they literally look like a monster - very scary. Thanks for the tip for first freezing the filling - so clever! and also the fact that the black thumb should not touch the dumpling - gosh mine looked like they were picked up from dumpster.... Thanks Pailin!!!

Oh my God. I had such a hard time making these at home a while back. The dough kept cracking on me and it was just a sad mess. Thanks for making a recipe on this! It's my favorite dessert :D

Great video, gonna try it

Its a filling dessert, we havd it in the Philippines, but its called "Palitaw Latik", from a floating rice cake in reduced coconut milk based syrup like soup.

This is my favorite dessert! And I was so happy to find your video and I thank you! I usually buy these at Uwajamaya but they have stopped carrying them. And that being the largest Asian market,it was the only market near me that had them. I can't wait to try to make these!

This sounds yummy! Thank you for all of the extra tips you offer with your recipe.

Yes!! I ate these on yuan xiao jie every year with my family, but only the frozen supermarket version. The black sesame were my favorite. I actually tried to make these one time in college for a video project for my Chinese class, but undercooked the dough on accident so they were horrible!! I'll try again with the proper 9 & 12 grams this week so maybe next yuan xiao jie we can eat homemade ones!

Dessert which will digest ur food alsoo very well ... its a win win 😍😍

Looks so delicious! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and tips!

Yums my favourite tang yuan in black sesame😍we add pandan leaves to boil the ginger soup. Eaten during full moon, Chinese New Year festivals. We have matcha with red bean filling, yam filling...in soya bean milk instead of ginger soup too😁

Thanks for the recipe Pai! Definitely gonna have to try it. But....can we just acknowledge a side profile of ADAM!!!! 😱

Watching you eat make my mouth watering 😳

(Love from pakistan) Hi pai how are you? looks so yummy !!! I'm Thai I Love your all recipes Khob khun kha.

Vietnam have the similar dessert but we stuffed it with mung beans paste. My favorite is just the plain balls soaked in the ginger syrup

We used to love to get these at a restaurant and they put them in a hot rice wine soup thing. It was delicious :P Can't wait to try this recipe out!

This is similar to an Odiya dessert called Manda pitha...we add ginger n jagery alongwith sesame seeds paste or grated coconut n make the stuffing hence eliminating the requirement of a separate concoction. N I absolutely love it! My grandmother used to make it n it's one of my most favourite childhood memories to go to her place n be served these piping hot yummy dumplings! I love these chilled too! But I m sure having them with a separate concoction or tea must be a lil different n I would love to try it. Love your videos. I m from India ☺️

Man, this looks good!

Why isnt Adam wrapping the balls??? He should try it!!!! This is such a childhood food!!!

I had a similar dish at a Chinese restaurant called Chengdu Gourmet in Pittsburgh. The dish is called rice balls in wine soup, and it was fantastic!

my grandma makes these and sometimes she made small tiny balls without the stuffing. i don’t know why, but those were my favourite lol

I share Ur video to my aunty she love cooking like u.

Can you just poach the balls in the ginger tea instead of boiling it in the hot water?

I always have the ginger tea with pandan leaf :) gives sweetness which contrast the ginger taste

hi thank you so much for a really amazing and simple guide video 🙏💖 i never made this desert but it looks delicous and i heard ther are lots of bua loy tyeps and filling i would love to know the tyeps and fillings that thid desert can be made of i heard salted egg and black saseme seeds and i really want to know more about this i saerched alot and i coudn't find any and btw sorry for my bad english nit my first language 💖🌹

Anybody else watching this for Lunar New Year 2019?

Do you have to make the balls that size or could you make them smaller? One bites?

Pretty sure I couldn't eat these things in public without carrying around a toothbrush. Looks delicious though!

Ty for telling me how to cook

Really love it...i hv tried this one before... And ginger really good for our body...

I love the way you make food

You are so sweet ! oh and the chef is sweet too :-)

Omg, we buy these from the store all the time...Will definitely have to try the homemade version!!

In Indonesia, it's similar with "Wedang Ronde". Wedang means hot drink, the hot ginger tea. Ronde is the name of the ball shaped dough. But in wedang ronde, the filling of the dough is palm sugar and peanut. The palm sugar inside the dough will melt when the dough was boiled. So it'll make an explosion sensation when you bite it. Also, there are another feeling of the ginger tea, not only the ball shaped dough. But also roasted/boiled peanut, some agar-agar, palm fruit, or sometimes sliced bread. It's so yummy, especially on this rainy season like this on Southeast Asia. 👍

Love this! 😍👍🏻👍🏻

Delightful snack you have here!

Easy filling : mix crunchy peanut butter and brown sugar

Thank you so much! I tried making it today and it was a disaster. Im gonna follow this recipe next time! In my country we call it Kueh Ee
