Ingredients

Method
- Soak the glutinous rice in water for at least 1 hour, then drain and steam for about 25 minutes until fully cooked and very soft.
- While still hot, pound or mash the rice vigorously with a pestle or the back of a spoon until it turns smooth and sticky with no whole grains left.
