Dong Zhi is the thanksgiving of the Chinese calendar. "Dong Zhi" literally means "arrival of winter". Coinciding with the winter solstice, it is an occasion for the family to get together to celebrate the good year they have had. Tang Yuan is cooked and eaten to symbolise unity and harmony within the family. Dong Zhi occurs 6 weeks before Chinese New Year and would normally fall between 21st Dec and 23rd Dec. Look at my first attempt making this meaningful dessert....not bad right?..It's really easy and simple..I only watch my mom make it when I was at home years ago...I remember my mom said when we consume Dong Yuen ,we are older by one year old..."I said..oh!..No...No...I'm not going to get older by a year just eating Dong Yuen,then I refused to eat"!!..So I'm not a fan of "Dong Yuen"!!.hahaha!!..But now I have Mishu,so I want her to know and understand our culture and food...This is what I made yesterday.. Tang Yuan, sweet soup of glutinous rice flour balls, is indispensable during this festival.For good luck, families prefer to have some pink tang yuan to mix with the white ones.
