When you are taking a bite out of this ball will give you a surprisingly mouthful of fragrant.

Helpful Tips:
1. Let the dough sit in the fridge overnight,
It seems like gives this glutinous rice balls flavour and a delightfully chewy texture.
2. You might need to add a little water though if your dough is very dry.
There are so many different types and coloured varieties of sweet potato to choose.
3. Put the uncooked Tangyuan in freezer bags zip slide or
container and can be frozen within 1 to 3 months for best flavor and quality.
4. Do not soaks the cooked Tangyuan in hot coconut syrup longer than
10 minutes. It will make the Tangyuan less tasty!
