Tangyuan is a soup-based snack, generally filled with black sesame and pork lard, with a little white sugar added. The outer layer is made of glutinous rice flour shaped into balls, and after cooking, they become soft, sticky, sweet, and delicious.
Peanut filling is one of the later variations. The roasted peanuts are rubbed to remove the skins and ground into coarse powder with white sugar. Then, just like sesame filling, they are mixed with lard, resulting in a sweet yet slightly salty peanut flavor that offers a unique taste.
Grinding sesame and peanut grains by hand would be too strenuous, so Du Xixi and 2569 first toasted the black sesame and peanuts together, rubbed off the peanut skins, and then each grabbed a grinder to finely grind the sesame and peanuts.
