Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Place the sesame seeds in the oven at 100 degrees and roast until golden brown. Mix the roasted sesame seeds and sugar evenly (set aside)

   

2. 2 Add warm water to the glutinous rice flour and form into a ball. It is better to have moderate hardness and softness and not stick to your hands

   

3. 3 Divide the kneaded dough into 15g small pieces. Place the small dough in the palm of your hand and shape it into a round ball. Use your thumb to make a small dimple on the top of the ball and add the filling

   

4. 4 Gradually pinch the mouth of the socket together with your fingers, then place it in the palm of your hand and gently roll it into a round shape

   

5. 5 Bring water to a boil over high heat, put the wrapped glutinous rice balls into the pot and cook until they float and serve

   

6. 6 This is cooked and looks very big

   

7. 7 If you want more flavor, you can roll the cooked glutinous rice balls with sesame seeds for another flavor
