Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ cup Glutinous powder
¾ cup Lukewarm water
2 drops Green food coloring, up to 3
8 teaspoons Grated Java dark brown sugar
1 cup Fresh-grated coconut; mixed with:
½ teaspoon Salt

Directions

Via: Andrew Healy <a.healy@...>    Mix the rice powder with the lukewarm water and green food coloring into a firm but flexible dough. Pull off one full teaspoon of the dough and shape it into a ball with approximately 1-inch in diameter. Push a finger into the center of the ball to make a hole, and put in approximately ½ tsp. of the grated sugar. Seal, and roll it back into the ball shape with the palms of your hands. Prepare all the balls and set them aside. Prepare a pot half filled with water and bring it to a boil. Drop the balls into the boiling water. Remove the balls with a spoon once they float to the water surface and then roll the balls in the grated coconut.Serve at room temperature. Makes 30 rice balls.
