I decided to try this recipe because I couldn’t find the right flavour and texture of this glutinous rice ball anywhere closure to my hometown or the oriental grocery shops here. Happily it turns out very delicious and my family approves it. Happy Days!

For fillings, you can choose split mung bean or even coconut shreds.
