- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 25 min
- Makes: 1 serving (128 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free
Ingredients
- 35 g Rice, glutinous
- 20 g Rice, white, short-grain
- 70 g Red bean paste, sweetened
- 3 g Sugar
- 0.3 g Salt
Method
- Rinse the glutinous and short-grain rice together and soak for 30 minutes, then drain.
- Cook the rice with 75 g water (steamer or covered pot) until soft, about 20 minutes, then let it steam off the heat for 10 minutes.
- While still warm, mash the rice roughly with a pestle or the back of a spoon, leaving some texture, until it holds together.
- With damp hands, divide the rice into two balls and shape each into a rough oval.
- Warm the sweetened red bean paste with the sugar and salt to loosen it slightly, then flatten a portion in your palm and wrap it around each rice ball, smoothing the surface.
- Serve at room temperature the same day.
