Description

This comforting Chinese dessert features soft, glutinous rice balls floating in fragrant ginger syrup. It’s a warming treat often served during festivals — simple, chewy, and gently spicy-sweet.

Ingredients

  • 🌾 150 g glutinous rice flour (1 cup)
  • 💧 120 ml warm water (½ cup)

  • 🫚 30 g fresh ginger, sliced (2 tbsp)
  • 💧 600 ml water (2 ½ cups)
  • 🍋 Optional: 1 tsp lemon zest for brightness

Preparation

  • 1️⃣ Make the dough: In a bowl, mix glutinous rice flour with warm water until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Roll into 2 cm balls (about 18–20 pieces).

  • 3️⃣ Cook the balls: Bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Add rice balls. When they float, cook 2 more minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
  • 4️⃣ Serve: Add cooked balls into the hot ginger syrup and let sit for 1–2 minutes. Serve warm.
