Sweet Glutinous Rice Balls

Ingredients

• 1 cup glutinous rice flour
• ½ cup water
• ¼ cup red bean paste
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 cup water (for syrup)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, mix 1 cup glutinous rice flour with 0.5 cup water until a soft dough forms. If too sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, add water a teaspoon at a time.

2. 2

   Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece, place 1 teaspoon of red bean paste in the center, then pinch the dough around it and roll into a smooth ball.

3. 3

   Bring a pot of water to a boil. Drop in the rice balls and cook until they float to the surface, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

4. 4

   In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water and 2 tbsp sugar. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Place the cooked rice balls in a bowl and pour the warm syrup over them. Serve immediately.
