Chewy Yam Glutinous Rice Balls/Cubes~

Homemade yam glutinous balls, so "Q" so chewy :p~ They can be enjoyed in both hot sweet soup or chilled shaved ice desserts~

Recipe

Ingredients

• 110 g Glutinous rice flour
• 1.5 Tbs Sugar
• 130 g Mashed yam
• 70 ml Water
• A pot of water
• A bowl of ice cold water

Method

1. Add the sugar and glutinous flour in a bowl and mix well. Add in the mashed yam and water and mix well and knead to form a dough. Cover and rest the dough for 20 minutes.


2. Knead the dough a few times, divide the dough into smaller pieces and shape them into little cubes/balls.


3. Add some water into a pot and heat over medium heat till it's simmering hot (be careful not to boil the water).


4. Gently add the yam glutinous cubes/balls into the pot of hot water and allow it to cook. When they float to the surface, immediately remove and transfer them into the bowl of ice cold water (leave it for 2 minutes) before returning them to the pot of hot water. Remove and transfer them into a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process (this allows the yam glutinous rice balls to be "q"/chewy).


5. Add them to hot sweet ginger soup or chilled desserts. Enjoy~
