Glutinous Rice Balls - Red Bean

These were amazing. I didn’t know what to expect since these were my first glutinous rice balls. In this case with red bean filling, which I already knew and loved from knowing mochis. These here are very similar to mochis but a bit less sweet (unless you add sugar or something sweet yourself, which is not necessarily needed). Perfect dessert 💛 quick to prepare (they come frozen and then you boil them for 5-7 minutes. #glutinousrice

Not bad. Easy to prepare: just boil them in plain or sugared water. I sweetened mine with two tablespoons of brown sugar, boiled them for about 8 minutes. Serve them dry with powdered peanuts, in cold soya milk (which I did) or in sugared water :)

This makes a convenient meal - just boil and it's done, though it's not that nutritious. However I find the red bean flavour quite lacklustre in comparison to the peanut and sesame flavours. It lacks a kind of oomph that nuts and seeds have. I guess red bean is better in bao.

Got this instant tang yuan (汤圆) for winter solstice festival (冬至). Very convenient to cook and prepare. The skin is not as chewy but that's probably because we didn't boil it long enough, still nice though. The red bean paste taste good, not too sweet or thick. Good substitute when you missed home on this day 🥲.

This is a product of Singapore. It is stated "suitable for vegetarian". The ingredients are actually vegan friendly - it is dairy free and egg free. This glutinous rice ball with red bean paste is a delicious dessert. It is easy to cook. Simply cook the frozen balls in boiling water. The balls will float on the surface of the water when it's cooked. Serve these balls in your choice of sweet syrup such as ginger soup or peanut soup. #dessert #desserts #supportSG #vdesserts
