Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, gradually add water (for rice balls) to glutinous rice flour, kneading until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Divide the dough into small portions and roll them into small balls.

2. 2

   Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the glutinous rice balls and cook until they float to the surface and are cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

3. 3

   In a separate pot, combine water (for soup), rock sugar, and ginger slices. Bring to a boil and simmer until the rock sugar dissolves. Remove ginger slices if desired.

4. 4

   Stir in the fermented glutinous rice wine into the simmering soup base. Bring it back to a gentle boil.

5. 5

   Add the cooked glutinous rice balls to the soup. Serve warm.
