Method

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Mix both flours, matcha and sugar.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Add warm water little by little and knead into a smooth dough that does not crack when rolled.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Roll into 20 equal small balls.

  4. 04

    Step 4

    Cook in gently boiling water until they float, then simmer for another 2–3 minutes. Halve one to check the centre is cooked rather than powdery.

  5. 05

    Step 5

    Transfer to cold water, drain and serve with red bean paste. Eat in small bites; sticky rice dumplings are unsuitable for people who have difficulty swallowing.
