Each ball gets a very thin brush of honey before it is rolled, so the powder clings evenly and the outside picks up a faint sweetness.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Combine 220g glutinous rice flour with 1g salt, gradually add 150ml hot water above 80C and stir with a spatula until the dough is as soft and pliable as an earlobe.
- 2
Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and divide 140g red bean paste into 10 equal portions as well, rolling each into a smooth ball.
- 3
Flatten one dough portion in the palm, place a bean paste ball in the center, gather the edges all around and seal without gaps, then shape into a smooth sphere.
- 4
Drop the rice balls into a generous pot of boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they float, then continue for 1 more minute to ensure the centers are fully cooked, then remove.
- 5
Drain the rice balls briefly to remove surface water, then use 1 tablespoon honey in total to brush a very thin coat over all the balls so the coating powder adheres well.
- 6
Roll each honey-coated ball in a mixture of 60g roasted soybean powder and 12g sugar until the entire surface is evenly coated in the golden soybean flour.
