Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- Fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- Red bean paste (or Nutella)
- Cornstarch (for dusting)
Instructions
- Wrap each strawberry in about one tablespoon of red bean paste.
- Mix glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water in a microwave-safe bowl until combined.
- Microwave the mixture in short bursts, stirring in between, until it forms a thick, sticky dough.
- Let the dough cool until it is warm enough to handle.
- Dust your hands and working surface with cornstarch, then pinch off pieces of dough and flatten them.
- Place a wrapped strawberry in the center of each piece of dough and pinch it shut.
- Repeat until all ingredients are used and let sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, ensure strawberries are ripe and sweet. Use cornstarch generously to prevent sticking. Experiment with different fillings if desired.
