Instructions
- Mix the ground black sesame, powdered sugar, and butter to form a compact filling, then roll it into small balls.
- Mix the glutinous rice flour with the lukewarm water and knead until you have a soft dough that no longer sticks to your fingers.
- Divide the dough into small pieces, flatten each in your palm, and place a filling ball in the center.
- Close the dough around the filling and roll between your hands to form a smooth little ball.
- Bring water to a boil with the ginger and brown cane sugar, then drop in the balls.
- As soon as they rise to the surface, cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then drain and serve in the sweet broth.
Variations and tips
Red bean version. Replace the black sesame with sweetened red bean paste.
