Tips

1. Do not use soy sauce when mixing the meat filling; it will color the rice grains and make them look less white.

2. Do not add water to the meat mixture; using too much can make the meat too soft and affect shaping.

3. Gently coat the small meat balls in rice; this will make the rice grains stand vertically, looking more attractive.If you repeatedly form the balls with the rice, it won't have this effect. My finished product shows that experience helps.

4. Using round glutinous rice can make them stick better and look nicer.
