Today is the Winter Solstice Festival, which is the 2nd most important festival in the Lunar Chinese Calendar after The Chinese New Year.Β Β Tong Yuen (glutinuous rice balls) is most important food in today’s menu πΒ Sadly we won’t be eating any homemade ones.Β My mom is out of town πΒ So, we’ll make do with some frozen ones like this.
I still remember last year’s celebration.Β Ashley was having a lot of fun helping my mom to mould the tong yuen.Β Her energy level was like those rechargeable batteries. She didn’t want to stop making the tong yuen even after we had ran out of flour πΒ Happy Winter Solstice Festival everyone.
Happy Winter Solstice to you Barb! I cant wait to go home and eat a big bowl of tang yuan!!
