2 cups glutinous rice flour
1 cup dried tapioca pearls (soaked in water for at least 4 hours)

2. Drop them into the same pot where you cooked the rice balls and let it boil.

3. Simmer over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes until they are soft and translucent, strain then set aside. *tip: soak them in cold water when set aside so they don’t stick together.
