Homemade Tangyuan (汤圆) for Dongzhi (冬至) Festival

Dongzhi Festival or Winter Solstice Festival is traditionally a time for the family to get together. Traditionally Tangyuan was made and ate during the get togethers. It is made from glutinous rice flour and symbolize reunion.

For my family, it is also a time to worship ancestors. The recipe was passed down to my mum from grandma. I love the homemade Tangyuan from my mum because it was full of color and ingredients. Besides the balls of glutinous rice, there were red dates, dried longgan and gingko nuts.

Previosuly, I have written a post on VeganBurg stating that they are selling vegetarian burgers. Technically I am wrong, the burgers at VeganBurg also excludes the use of eggs, dairy products and other animal-derived ingredients.

I have always wanted to go back to VeganBurg to taste the rest of their burgers on their menu. In a way, I am amazed by how tasty the burgers were even though it excludes the use of meat and animal-derived ingredients. This time I tried the Hawaiian Pineapple burger. The soya based patty was really nice and tasty. The pineapple gave the burger a freshness dimension too. I encouraged you to give VeganBurg a try to the new concept of healthy burger.
