Pumpkin Tang Yuan 金瓜汤圆 Recipe

  The Dōngzhì Festival, or Winter Solstice Festival, is one of the most important Chinese festivals and this year it falls on the 21st of December, that is today. Traditionally, tang yuan sweet soup (glutinous rice balls with sweet filling) is part of the celebration of this special day. Families get together and have homemade Tang Yuan (or store bought) sweet soup to celebrate family reunion, and turning a year older. This year for the Dōngzhì festival, I made pumpkin tang yuan yesterday with some leftover red bean paste and shaped them  like little cute pumpkins for my family to enjoy as dessert after our reunion dinner.
