Recipe Tips

To prevent the rice balls from sticking together, add a small amount of oil to the water before boiling. Also, make sure to stir the soup occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. For a variation, you can also add dried fruit, such as goji berries or jujubes, to the soup for added flavor and nutrition.
