Ingredients

  • 19 tang yuan glutinous rice balls with sesame filling, store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil I use peanut oil
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

Prepare the Tang Yuan:

  • No need to defrost the tang yuan. Place them directly into a pan.

Add Oil and Water:

  • Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the pan. Swirl the pan to coat the tang yuan evenly in the cold oil.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of water to the pan.

Cook:

  • Turn the heat to medium-low and cover the pan with a lid. Let the tang yuan cook for 3-4 minutes.

Flip the Tang Yuan:

  • Carefully flip each tang yuan over and cook for another 2 minutes.

Check for Doneness:

  • The tang yuan should have a crispy exterior. Be careful not to fry them for too long, as the filling might burst out.

Serve:

  • Remove the tang yuan from the pan and serve immediately. Enjoy the crispy exterior and the delicious sesame filling.
