Ingredients
– 2 cups glutinous rice flour
– 1/2 cup water
– 1/4 cup white sugar
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix together the glutinous rice flour and water until a soft dough forms.
2. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable.
3. Pinch off a small piece of dough and roll it into a ball between your palms.
4. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the rice balls to the boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
5. Remove the cooked rice balls from the water with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving bowl.
6. Sprinkle the desired amount of sugar over the top of the rice balls and serve warm.
Notes

– Top the rice balls with crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
– Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
