 Grinded glutinous rice are formed into balls then flattened and cooked
in boiling water. When these flattened balls float, it's an indication
that these are already cooked. Grated coconut with sugar and toasted
sesame seeds is perfect for dipping.
Makes
30-35 patties
Preparation
time : 30 minutes + overnight for soaking the glutinous rice
Cooking
time : 30 minutes
Ingredients
:
-
400
g(2 cups) uncooked glutinous rice

½ liters (10 cups) water

Procedure :
-
1. Soak
glutinous rice in 1 liter (4 cups) of the water for 8 hours or
overnight. Drain the rice and reserve the water.
-
2. In
a blender or food processor,grind the rice until it is smooth and
has the consistency of dough. Add just enough of the reserved water
when grinding so the mixture turns.

sure they don't stick together. Patties are cooked once they float
