Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 3

250 g of Glutinous Rice Flour
100 g of Sugar
140 ml of Water

Steps:

  • In a bowl, add glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water. Knead until it forms into a ball (it doesn't need to be smooth).
  • Take two pieces of the dough around 3 tbsp of each. In a pot, add in water, bring it to a boil, add in the dough and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the dough back into the rest of the glutinous rice flour mixture, and knead until it becomes a smooth dough. Be patient; this process takes around 5 minutes; add more flour if too sticky.
  • Optional: add in food coloring to half of the dough.
  • Roll it out, and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Roll the pieces into a ball.
  • In a pot, add in water, bring it to a simmer on medium heat. Add in the rice balls and cook for 3-4 minutes or until it floats.
  • Enjoy on top of shaved ice or with red bean soup.

GLUTINOUS RICE BALL DESSERT

This was my favorite dessert growing up. My mom is an amazing cook and she use to make many popular vietnamese desserts. It is different from the original since I don't like the yellow bean paste that typically goes inside these golf size balls. It can be replaced with peanuts, red bean paste, sesame paste etc, however, I prefer it just plain. The beauty of this easy recipe is that you can alter the sugar soup however you like (I've added fresh squeezed orange juice for citrus or traditionally served with toasted chopped peanuts & sesame seeds and some coconut milk)

Time 25m

Yield 4 Small bowls, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup glutinous flour
1/3 cup water (or more, if needed)
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 slices fresh gingerroot
icy cold water
toasted and chopped peanuts
toasted sesame seeds
coconut milk

Steps:

  • Put flour and water in a bowl and mix with a spoon (since the flour is so fine it doesn't need to be whisked). The texture should not be sticky, add more flour if it is. If too dry, you won't be able to roll them in quarter sized balls (they will break apart). My mother never measured anything, it was always about texture.
  • Boil a pot of water (2/3 full).
  • Roll the dough in quarter sized balls and drop them into the boiling water (the dough can be rolled into any shape - footballs, worms, squares etc). When they float remove them with a slotted spoon and put into a separate bowl with ice water. Once done, set aside.
  • In a smaller pot, add water (1/2 full), add brown sugar and slices of ginger. Allow to boil and then turn down to simmer. Use slotted spoon to pick up all cooked rice balls and drop them into the sugar/ginger soup. Allow balls to soak in soup for 20-30 minutes.
  • Pour into bowls and serve. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Make sure to use glutinous rice flour, as it is the key ingredient that gives these rice balls their chewy texture.
  • If you don't have a steamer, you can boil the rice balls in a pot of water. Just make sure to keep an eye on them so they don't overcook.
  • Be careful when working with boiling water or hot oil.
  • If you are using a food processor to make the filling, be sure to pulse it only until the ingredients are finely chopped. You don't want to over-process it, or the filling will become mushy.
  • Feel free to get creative with the fillings. You can use anything from sweet to savory ingredients.
  • Serve the rice balls warm or at room temperature. They are also delicious chilled.

Conclusion:

Glutinous rice balls are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are relatively easy to make, and they can be customized to your own liking.
