Ran into my Vietnamese Chinese neighbor, who reminded me not to forget to eat our winter balls

#Food #ChineseFood
Black sesame rice balls, often eaten for winter solstice. The packaging says ‘big rice balls bring mournful satisfaction’

I bring water and brown sugar to a rolling boil, add pandan leaves and ginger, then the rice balls. When they float, they’re done.

By using gula Melaka or gula Jawa and pandan leaves I can make it taste more SE Asian rather than East Asian.

I guess I could add turmeric to make it taste like Indonesian wedang ronde
