Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix glutinous rice flour and salt, then add hot water gradually to form a soft dough.

  2. 2

    Divide dough into three; keep one plain, mix mugwort powder into one and prickly pear powder into the other.

  3. 3

    Roll each dough into 2 cm balls and drop into boiling water.

  4. 4

    Once balls float, cook 1 more minute, transfer to cold water, then drain well.

  5. 5

    Mix sugar into soybean and black sesame powders, coat the balls, then lightly brush with sesame oil.

Tips

Do not add all water at once; adjust based on dough texture.
Coating sticks best while the rice balls are still warm.
