Colorful glutinous rice balls with jujube paste

Overview

The glutinous rice balls here are called Yuantuan, which is a metaphor for reunion. You can change the glutinous rice balls according to your own preferences when making them at home. We like the jujube paste filling, which is full of sweetness. The outer shell is made with purple sweet potato and glutinous rice flour, and finally sugared osmanthus is added to the soup. The taste is really great.
