What to get ready

• Chicken eggs 20
• Sugar 1.3 lb
• Rice flour 2.1 oz
• Jasmine water 2 ½ cups

Method

1. 1 Strain the egg yolks through a fine cloth, then whisk them with a little rice flour until the mixture thickens.
2. 2 Beat continuously for 15 minutes until the mixture becomes fluffy and pale in color; this step is crucial for creating perfectly round balls.
3. 3 Simmer the sugar syrup with jasmine water, maintaining a steady, gentle boil.
4. 4 Scoop the egg mixture into your palm and squeeze it so that each drop falls into the syrup pot.
5. 5 Remove the balls as soon as they float to the surface, then drop them into the cool syrup to soak up the sweetness.

With an appliance

• Microwave 40 min

  Replace step 3: swirl the sugar syrup and jasmine water in a deep glass bowl at 700 W for 6 minutes, stirring once midway, then transfer to a saucepan to keep simmering; step 4 continues by squeezing the egg drop by drop into the syrup on the stovetop.
