No it is not Rasgulla even if it may look like. Tang Yuan is a Chinese dessert made out of rice flour. It’s Gluten free and can be made with sesame filling or without filling. It is really different than any of the Indian or American dessert we could have tasted. It is difficult to develop the taste but believe me; you have to try it once.
