Notes
- You can use any type of filling you like, including sweet or savory options. - Be sure to wrap the filling completely in the dough so it doesn't leak out during steaming. - If you want to add color to the rice balls, you can use food coloring or natural ingredients like beet juice or matcha powder.
- If the dough is too dry, add a little more water. If it's too wet, add more flour. - You can make the rice balls ahead of time and freeze them before steaming. Just thaw them before cooking. - Experiment with different fillings to find your favorite combination. Some popular options include sesame paste, shredded coconut, and chocolate.
