Ingredients:

  1. For the Dough:

    • 2 cups glutinous rice flour (also known as sticky rice flour)
    • 1 cup water (adjust as needed)
    • 1-2 tablespoons sugar (optional, for sweetness)

  2. For the Filling:

    • 1 cup sweet red bean paste or black sesame paste (store-bought or homemade)
    • Alternatively, you can use chopped nuts, chocolate, or fruit preserves

  3. For the Soup Base (optional):

    • 4 cups water
    • 2-3 slices of ginger
    • 1-2 tablespoons rock sugar (adjust to taste)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dough:

    1. In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and sugar (if using). Gradually add water and mix until a smooth, pliable dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a bit of mo
    2. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

  2. Prepare the Filling:

    1. If using store-bought paste, you can skip this step. For homemade red bean paste or black sesame paste, you can find recipes online or use pre-made versions available in Asian grocery stores.
    2. Divide the filling into small portions, roughly 1 teaspoon each. Roll them into small balls and set aside.

  3. Shape the Rice Balls:

    1. Pinch off a small piece of dough and flatten it into a circle, about 2 inches in diameter. Place a portion of filling in the center.
    2. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal. Roll the ball between your hands to make it smooth. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.

  4. Cook the Rice Balls:

    1. Boiling Method:
      • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully drop the rice balls into the boiling water. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the rice balls float to the surface and are cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the pot.
    2. Soup Base (Optional):
      • If you prefer to serve the rice balls in a soup, prepare the soup base by bringing water to a boil with ginger and rock sugar. Add the cooked rice balls and simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving: Glutinous rice balls can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. They are traditionally served in a bowl of the sweet soup base, but they can also be enjoyed plain or with a drizzle of honey or syrup. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or shredded coconut if desired.

Tips:

  • Ensure that the dough is well-kneaded to achieve a smooth and elastic texture, which is crucial for the perfect glutinous rice balls.
  • Experiment with different fillings to suit your taste preferences. You can also make savory versions with ingredients like minced meat or vegetables.
