Crystal Tang Yuan with Jasmine Tea Lava Filling

Eating tang yuan is, for me, the highlight of Chinese New Year Eve. Last year, I created Matcha Tang Yuan, which received a lot of positive feedback. This year, I aimed to elevate both its appearance and flavors by making Crystal Tang Yuan with Lava Filling, including purple yam, jasmine osmanthus, and oolong brown sugar. The main ingredient is tapioca starch, and I’ve included some tips and tricks to help you avoid any mishaps on your first attempt.

Tang Yuan with Matcha Lava Filling

Tang Yuan, or sweet glutinous rice balls, are often enjoyed with traditional fillings like black sesame or peanut, which have always been some of my favorites. However, this year, I wanted to try something different and use up some leftover ingredients from my Airy Nama Chocolate experiment. The result is a delightful new creation: Tang Yuan with Matcha Lava Filling. After numerous trials to perfect the water-to-powder ratio for the filling, I’ve simplified the process so you can enjoy this fun and easy recipe without the hassle.
