Tangyuan (Chinese dessert)

amiyanpays_ark · 2 December 2008 14:32

I am thinking to make Tangyuan (it is a Chinese dessert), but i cant find the ingredient to make the skin.

It is called glutinous rice flour (i think it might call Klebreis Mehl in german)

Is there anyone know where can i find it?

Thanks!!!!

If it is an Asian Food, I am sure you can find the Ingredients in the Asia-Shop.

Go to an Asian food store and look for "sweet rice flour" or "sticky rice flour" - not sure what the German translation would be but the "glutinous rice" you hear people referring is basically sweet/sticky rice (a kind of short grain rice with a high gluten content, hence "sticky")

Have fun and bon appetite!

Is this hard to make?

While we are on the subject why not give us the full recipe for Tangyuan?
