Sweet Rice Balls
I enjoy making homemade sweet rice balls and I've detailed my process here so you can make your own, too.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup sweet glutinous rice flour
- 4 ½ tbsp water
- 2-3 drops food coloring of your choice, (optional)
Instructions
- Mix glutinous rice flour with water. Add water and mix until water is completely absorbed and a sticky dough forms. You should be able to form balls in your palm easily and have them not stick to your hand. If the dough is too dry, add some more water. If it's too sticky, add some more flour to adjust.
- If you wish to add color your balls, add just a few drops with the water. To create matcha sweet rice balls, add approximately 1 tsp of matcha powder for every 2/3 cup of flour.
- Take a small chunk of dough and roll between palms. You want the dough balls to be between 1/3 - 1/2 inch in diameter.
- To cook, bring a pot of water to a boil. Put the balls in after the water is boiling. This prevents the balls from sticking to the bottom of the pot. The balls do not need long to cook. Once they float to the top, they are done. Turn off boiling water and drain balls from water. Add to your favorite dessert.
