Ingredients

200 g glutinous rice flour
1 tbsp white granulated sugar
180 g boiling water
120 g Red bean paste homemade or store-bought
Oil for brushing and spraying

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

In a large bowl, pour 200 grams of glutinous rice flour.
Add one tablespoon of white granulated sugar.
Gradually add 180 grams of boiling water while stirring.
Stir until it forms a dough-like consistency.
Knead into a smooth, non-sticky dough and set it aside.

Make the Red Bean Paste Balls:

Take 15 grams of red bean paste and roll it into a ball. Repeat for the desired number of cakes.

Assemble the Sticky Rice Cakes:

Take 50 grams of the glutinous rice dough and roll it into a small round cake.
Shape it into a small nest.
Place a pre-rolled red bean paste ball inside the nest, then pinch the edges around the filling to cover the red bean paste completely. Seal and smooth the edges to enclose the filling fully.
After sealing, press it into a flat cake with your hand and make the rest in the same way.

Cook the Cakes:

Brush oil in a pan.
Place the cakes in the pan.
Spray oil on the surface.
Pan-fry over low heat until set, then flip.
Fry until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
