Whoever is chinese, can you tell me what is tong yoon in english?

Tong Yoon is a bowl of dough balls that was boiled. I dont know what it's called, i need it for a project.|||tong yoon...i asked my dad, he actually made it a couple nights ago.


you mean the chinese spelling ? because i have no idea. :S


my dad told me he made it with lettuce, shrimp and little things made of flour. it's usually made with meat, and some form of lettuce/choyw/leaf things. you boil it in water, add some msg and oil and it's done.


i didn't eat any, so i could tell you how it tasted.|||Tangyuan (as it's called in Mandarin . . . I'm assuming that tongyoon is Cantonese) is a sticky sweet rice ball. It's typically eaten on the shortest day of the year (Dongzhi -- Dec. 21, 22 or 23 based on the lunar calendar) and on Yuanxiaojie (Lanturn Festival -- two weeks after Chinese New Year.)





This website has an easy recipe for making them . . . it would be a really neat addition to your project if you tried them out!

Good luck!|||There is no English name as such. In Mandarin Chinese it is Tang Yuan|||I think you can call it Tang-yuan. And make a explain of dumplings made of sweet rice, rolled into balls and stuffed with either sweet or spicy fillings
