Method

  1. 1 Soak glutinous rice and mung beans separately for 6 hours, then drain.
  2. 2 Steam the mung beans until cooked, mash them thoroughly, roll them into balls, and then grind them into a fine powder.
  3. 3 Mix two-thirds of the bean flour into the glutinous rice, ensuring each grain is evenly coated with flour.
  4. 4 Steam the sticky rice for 30 minutes, stirring it once in between to ensure even cooking.
  5. 5 Mix the remaining mung bean flour into the hot sticky rice along with sugar and a pinch of salt, then stir until the grains are loose.

With an appliance

  • Pressure cooker 50 min

    Replace step 4: steam the glutinous rice with mung bean paste under low pressure for 12 minutes, then release the pressure naturally for 5 minutes; step 5 still involves mixing in the remaining mung bean paste while the sticky rice is hot.
