- Divide the dough into small portions and flatten each portion with your hands.
- Place a spoonful of sweet filling in the center of each flattened dough portion.
- Gently fold the edges of the dough over the filling and seal it to form a ball shape.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the sticky rice balls and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
