Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and set aside.
Wrapping the dough
  • sweet rice powder
Roll small rice cake balls, dusting with sweet rice powder so they do not stick together; small, not eyeball-sized. This took around 40 minutes.
  • 3 cup butternut squash
Combine three cups of squash with four cups of water and bring to the boil; add the rice cake balls and cook until they float.
  • 4 cup water
Add sugar to taste. Serve hot, or chilled the next day.
