Full recipe: https://www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/glutinous-rice-balls~SyGk_wiPM9-7An Asian dessert often served with sweet syrup. Enjoyed during the Winter Solstice Festival. The chewy texture and sweet syrup make this dessert refreshing especially if served chilled.Winter Solstice Festival is regarded as the beginning of a new year and celebrated widely by the Chinese community. The round glutinous rice balls symbolize family unity. It is even more meaningful to have the whole family gathered together to make these glutinous rice balls. This dessert is also served to the bridal couple during weddings. Traditionally, these glutinous rice balls are made without any filling. In recent years, many types of flavours such as peanuts, Kaya (coconut jam) or black sesame have surfaced. Nonetheless, I am very much conservative when it comes to the originality of this dessert which is to have it plain. However, I do admit that I am quite smitten with those that consist of black sesame, after trying them.If you are planning to make this a day before, place them on a layer of plastic wrap. Cover the plate of glutinous rice balls with another layer of plastic wrap to prevent them from drying up.Pandan Flavoured Coconut Jamhttps://www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/kaya-pandanTaiwanese Pineapple Cakehttps://www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/taiwanese-pineapple-cakeDurian Swiss Roll Cakehttps://www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/durian-swiss-rollKuih Seri Mukahttps://www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/kuih-seri-mukaMuah Cheehttps://www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/mua-cheeNyonya Cooking: http://nyonya.tv/nyonyacookingFacebook: http://nyonya.tv/facebookInstagram: http://nyonya.tv/instagramTwitter: http://nyonya.tv/twitterPinterest: http://nyonya.tv/pinterest #nyonyacooking
