Mix the rice flour: Slowly add about 200ml of warm water to the glutinous rice flour. If you want the balls to be chewier, you can add 30 - 40gr of tapioca starch. Knead until the dough is no longer sticky, then let the dough rest for about 10 minutes.
Molding: Take a sufficient amount of dough, about the size of a thumb, spread it evenly, then put the filling in the middle, carefully wrap the filling tightly. Be careful to wrap tightly to avoid the filling falling out during the boiling process.
