whenever it comes to the day of winter solstice, my mother will always make a bowl of tang yuan for us to eat, no matter how full we are. non negotiable. thus, i had never fully appreciated tang yuans until i read up on the meaning behind this dish and why people eat it. in Chinese culture, tang yuan symbolises togetherness, or reunion. it is also aptly served in a bowl of HOT soup, so when you have a bowl of tang yuan, it reminds you on the warmth that a family can give!
so to further extend the meaning of togetherness, i challenged myself to make tang yuan from scratch and the Singaporean in me decided to make them otter shaped 🦦 honestly, it was no easy feat. i would highly recommend you to do it as an activity with friends & family, and share the rewards at the end 🥰 have fun~
