For an even nuttier flavor, you can toast the glutinous rice flour in a dry pan for a few minutes before mixing with water. This will give the rice balls a slightly toasted flavor.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the sesame paste is not too runny, or it will leak out of the rice balls during cooking.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little more water. If it's too wet, add a little more glutinous rice flour.
  • Roll the balls in the sesame seed and sugar mixture while they are still warm, as the coating will stick better.
  • You can store any leftover rice balls in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just reheat in the microwave or steamer before serving.
