Happy winter solstice.

Happy winter solstice!

Or as I call it - Happy tang yuan day! 

For those of you who don't know what tang yuan is, well, it's basically Chinese glutinous rice balls. Tang yuan can come in various sizes and can be either filled or unfilled.

For today's tang yuan, we went with the unfilled version and made a coconuty soup to pair with our rice balls. 

I just love shaping them into tiny little balls. I actually find it rather therapeutic.
