Tang Yuan Workshop (1/25/25 in LA)

Learn how to make black sesame tang yuan (or glutinous rice balls), an iconic dessert eaten for over 1,000 years on Lunar New Year to remind us of the importance of coming together!

Join us in our third annual tang yuan workshop! Get hands-on in this intimate class taught by Ashley and Hedy from Rooted Fare.

After a brief introduction and discussion about Lunar/Chinese New Year and tang yuan, you'll discover how to make and cook the tang yuans to their best expression with stretchy dumpling skin and two delicious fillings (a sweet and luscious black sesame one and a sweet and tart fruity one). Throughout the class, you'll get expert tips on how to perfect the dough wrapper and fold in the black sesame filling. Once all the tang yuans are cooked, we'll eat together! 

After our class, we'll have a small "marketplace" of goodies from Rooted Fare and you'll be able to contribute to the senior tang yuan "fund", a mutual aid initiative started by Paulette Pierce and Jess Wang to serve seniors at Cathay Manor homemade tang yuan.

We'll provide everything, so just bring yourself and your curiosity!
