Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1
Mix glutinous rice flour, coconut flour, erythritol, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
- 2
Gradually add almond milk and enough water to form a smooth, pliable dough; let rest 5 minutes.
- 3
Divide dough into 2 equal portions and roll each into a small ball (about 2 cm diameter).
- 4
Make a small indentation in each ball, place 1 tsp black sesame paste inside, then seal and roll gently to smooth.
- 5
Bring a pot of water to boil, add the rice balls and simmer until they float (about 3-4 minutes).
- 6
Remove balls with a slotted spoon, serve warm in a bowl of hot unsweetened almond milk, sweetened with stevia if desired.
*Pro Tips
- 1
Use coconut flour to add fiber and lower glycemic impact.
- 2
Do not overcook; overcooking makes the balls gummy.
- 3
Serve immediately to enjoy the soft texture.
