Instructions

Glutinous (Sticky) Rice Balls:

Step 1

In a bowl, mix together the glutinous rice flour, salt, and sugar.

Step 2

Step 2 Add the water and pandan extract, and mix with chopsticks until it starts to form a dough. Knead the dough with your hands until smooth.

Step 3

Take a small piece of the dough and roll it between your fingers to form a ball. Place it on a plastic wrap-lined plate, and repeat until all the dough is used.

Step 4

In a medium pot, boil enough water so the glutinous rice balls can be fully submerged.

Step 5

Once boiling, place the glutinous rice balls in the water and wait until they float. Wait a few minutes before removing them from the water, then set aside on a plate.
