breakfast at home


At top, Tang Yuan ("soup circles"), which are balls made of glutinous rice. Inside each ball was a filling of either black sesame, ground peanuts, or red bean paste. This breakfast was served with warm "corn milk", which I guess is like soymilk. It came from a package, but I don't know if it was originally powder or liquid. Next, Mi Xian ("rice noodles"). These usually have meat in them, but host mother acquiesced to not add meat. She used tomato, chinese leek, egg, and hua jiao (sweet peppercorn) paste.
