Just made it successfully! I added some toasted white sesame seeds to the peanut mix. I found the dough a little difficult to handle without tearing when I tried to wrap it around the peanut ball, so I had to do quite a bit of patching with extra dough. It turned out well and was tasty!

Would dates work in the filling? I am reluctant to use so much sugar. Or is it something special with sugar that can’t be substituted?

In reply to yesenia thomen. Hi Yesenia, I've never tried it with regular peanut butter but I'm pretty sure you can. You probably won't need the sugar (or reduce the amount by half) since the peanut butter is already sweetened. Happy cooking and let me know how the dish turns out! :)

I haven’t had tang yuan in such a long time, I totally love it and miss it due to my kids’ food allergies. However, I think there are other fillings to use. Thanks for the recipe, happy #sweetlunarnewyear!

In reply to Kristen.

Hi Kristen, I’m so happy to hear you tried out this recipe although it is a new dish you’ve never heard of!
Yes, the rice flour dough is easier to work with than the normal wheat flour dough, so I enjoy cooking dessert with it. You’ll find out it also creates a crunchy crispy texture when you fry it with some oil.
Thanks for taking time to leave a comment! Happy cooking and hope your red bean cakes will turn out great too 🙂

I never heard of these before, but was impressed by their unique preparation method and simple ingredients. The rice flour dough was delightful to work with. It was easy to correct the consistency of the dough and it streched perfectly around the peanut butter balls. I am excited to use this dough again when i prepare your red bean sesame cakes! The final product was delicious and i still have some left in the freezer for another day!

Tang yuan is a must for lantern festival! Your tang yuan filling is so runny, which I love! I certainly won’t be able to wait until the 15th! I want a bowl RIGHT NOW! NOM! Gong Xi Fa Cai!
