Ingredients

Steps

  1. Glutinous rice: 1 small bowl, soak in water for at least 3 hours in advance. We can do this work one night in advance. The amount of water should be enough to cover the glutinous rice to ensure that the glutinous rice can absorb enough water.

  2. The soaked glutinous rice is placed in a container for steaming. Because glutinous rice has absorbed enough water when soaked, the ratio of rice to water during steaming is 1:0.9 to avoid adding too much water, which will cause the steamed glutinous rice to be too soft and difficult to shape.

  3. The steamed glutinous rice is hot and shaped with plastic wrap. Place a piece of plastic wrap on the chopping board, take an appropriate amount of glutinous rice, spread it evenly. Place appropriate amount of bean paste filling in the center. The average filling amount for each large white rice dumpling here is about 20 grams. Please increase or decrease the amount of filling according to the size of the rice dumplings you make. The process of spreading glutinous rice will feel very sticky. A little pure water on your hands can prevent it from becoming sticky. You can try this tip.
