Preparation of Base

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and sugar. Stir until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms.

  3. 3

    Steam the Mixture

    Pour the batter into a steamer lined with parchment paper. Cover and steam for about 20 minutes or until the mixture becomes firm.

Incorporating Flavors

    Add Matcha Flavor

    Once the base is cooked, divide the mixture into two parts. To one part, add matcha powder and mix until well incorporated.

  2. 5

    Prepare Red Bean Center

    Take the other half of the mixture and flatten it out on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of red bean paste in the center and wrap it around to form a ball.

Final Assembly

  1. 6

    Shape the Sweets

    Take small portions of the matcha mixture and flatten them out. Place the filled red bean ball in the center and wrap it around to create a sweet.

  2. 7

    Roll the finished sweets in a mixture of cornstarch, sesame seeds, and shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
