Happy Dong Zhi (Kor Toong)
Tomorrow Kor Toong and this is yearly festival celebrated among Chinese where tong yuen (glutinous rice ball) is served. When I was young, mum told me that once we eat tong yuen we will grow one year older, so I eat as much as I can then I can grown up faster but now can I not to take so I won’t grow older and stopped at this age…. LOL!!!
This is my very first time make tong yuen after married for almost 7yrs, normally MIL will make extra for me to bring home to eat and for praying, so this year I told MIL that I will make myself. I asked MIL to buy the entire ingredient for me, as I have no time for marketing.
And the result is…………….
White, Green (pandan leaves) and Red (red coloring), not to worry this is for praying one that why I use the red coloring.
Soup ~ Pandan leaves knotted, ginger and brown sugar
