Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(What is this Chinese dessert?),it will help you,my kids.
Hello,
I'm looking to find the recipe for these hard to describe Chinese balls that I had for a dessert at their embassy awhile ago. The balls were very chewy, likely because they used rice flour... very gelatinous. I can't remember whether or not these balls were covered with sesame seeds -- which would make them Chinese sesame seed "balls".
Anybody know what I am talkign about? What are those starchy balls?
Thanks,
Av
Answer:
I gotta say that most Chinese desserts are bits size balls.
If it's white opaque balls, it's probably made with sweet rice flour. I'm surprised that you didn't mention that they have any filling.
If they are very small, like the size of a button, they are probably just plan rice flour balls boiled in water. It can also be Tapioca. Or the Taiwanese "bubble". They put them in tea or juice.
It could be Niangao, which comes in all kinds of shape, size and colours. It's also known as Chinese rice cake.
hm... even if I do know what dessert you're talking about. There is a lack of English translation in Chinese food. It might very well be called "Dumplings" or "rice cake" or "steam balls", which includes 1000 varieties.
Really need more info. In soup? In syrup? Fried? Steamed? Boiled? What's the size?
During Chinese New Year festivities, one of the dishes served is the glutinous (rice flour) dumplings (tong yuen) to symbolize "reunion" - they can be coloured, or natural rice white and sometimes contain peanut, or red bean filling inside.
Are they filled with a red bean paste, like the ones you can get during dim sum? They don't have to be, though. If they're coated in sesame seeds and fried...
Yeah, they're call sesame seed balls, or mátuǎn or jiānduī in Chinese.
Here's the recipe, with step-by-step pictures:

were they green, pink, and light mauve? If yes, i think its made of rice flour with juice from boiled spinach (green), beet (light mauve) and another root (pink but i can't remember it...).
u divide the rice flour to 3 and you work with each juice separately. u boil the balls for 15 min. and then cover them with sesame.
I believe you're referring to 'tang yuen' - glutinous rice balls often served in sweet syrup. They are sometimes dyed pink for good luck. Wikipedia provides a pretty good definition - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/tangyuan... - and as for the recipe, you could try this - http://www.nicemeal.com/dessert/dessert1... - omitting the coconut.
