  • In a separate bowl, combine sweet rice flour with water, mix until it sticks together and form a ball of dough. Knead lightly, it shouldn’t be dry nor too wet, if its sticky add more flour and a little more water if it’s too dry. Take about 2 tablespoons and roll it in between your hands to form a ball, indent a hole with your thumb and put a teaspoon of the filling in it, close the hole by pushing the dough to cover the filling completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Drop balls carefully in the boiling water and wait for it to float on top, once it does, it means it’s already cooked. Use a slotted spoon to transfer cooked dough balls in a plate or tray. Wait until it’s cool to the touch befor rolling it to the sesame seed-sugar mixture.
