Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour and water, kneading until the mixture is smooth and pliable.
  2. Once your dough is ready, divide it into small pieces, each roughly the size of a marble and roll into smooth balls.
  3. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and carefully drop in the dumplings. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until they float.
  4. While the dumplings are boiling, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  5. Once cooked, drain the dumplings, place in a serving bowl, drizzle with sweet soy sauce, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
