Purple glutinous rice balls

Overview

Purple objects always make people feel very beautiful. I like that purple color, so I dyed the white glutinous rice purple with purple sweet potato juice. The finished product is really beautiful! Paired with sweet purple sweet potato and snow pear soup, it’s really good.
