Glutinous Rice Balls

A traditional Chinese dessert, these sweet and chewy rice balls are filled with black sesame paste and served in a warm, sweet ginger broth.

  • Brown sugar (1/2 cup)
  • Ginger (1 piece, sliced)
  • Sugar (1/4 cup)
  • Black sesame paste (1/2 cup)
  • Water (1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the glutinous rice flour with water until a dough forms.
  2. Divide the dough into small pieces and flatten each piece into a disc.
  3. Place a small amount of black sesame paste in the center of each disc and fold the dough over to seal it.
  4. Boil a pot of water and cook the rice balls for about 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
