Glutinous Rice Balls

A traditional Chinese dessert, these sweet and chewy rice balls are filled with black sesame paste and served in a warm, sweet ginger broth.

Ingredients - Serves 4

In a bowl, mix the glutinous rice flour with water until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into small pieces and flatten each piece into a disc.
Place a small amount of black sesame paste in the center of each disc and fold the dough over to seal it.
Boil a pot of water and cook the rice balls for about 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
In a separate pot, bring the ginger, brown sugar, and 4 cups of water to a boil to make the ginger broth.
Serve the rice balls in the ginger broth, sweetened with sugar to taste.
