Essential Ingredients and Tools

• Frozen tangyuan
• Microwave oven

Quantities

Per serving:

• Frozen tangyuan: 11 pieces. The quantity depends on the size of the bowl. Ensure that the highest point of the tangyuan does not exceed the bowl's height by more than 5mm.

Instructions

• Take out the frozen tangyuan and place them in a bowl.
• Pour boiling water over them until they are completely submerged.
• Microwave on high power for 4 minutes.
• If the tangyuan have absorbed water and expanded, they are cooked.
• If they are not fully cooked, heat for an additional 1 minute.

Additional Notes

• Be sure to add the tangyuan before the hot water. Do not reverse the order, as pouring tangyuan into hot water may cause splashing and burns. Also, failing to control the water level may lead to overflow.
• If the bowl becomes too hot to handle after microwaving, use a towel to remove it, or some microwave models allow you to take out the turntable along with the bowl.
