Method
Prepare the sticky rice:
• Bring mung bean to a steam, drained and then blend with the sugar and
salt until you obtain a paste.
• Mix the mung bean paste with the sticky rice, sugar and 1 teaspoon of
oil. Set aside.
The balls:
• Separate the sticky rice in 12 equal pieces. Wear gloves. Take 1 piece
in your hand and flat it down to have a thin round shape (like a
pancake).
• Add one part of the stuffing in the center and then close the ball.
• Press firmly the ball in your hands. Roll the ball between your 2
hands to obtain a nice round shape with a diameter of 4cm. Keep all the
balls on an oiling surface to make sure they won’t stick. Continue until
all the sticky rice and stuffing are finished.
• Fried the balls until the color becomes light brown. Drained the fried
balls on a kitchen tissue.
Place on a serving platter, serve warm with a small bowl of soya sauce.
