Ingredients

3 cupscooked sticky rice
1/2 cupsugar
2 cupsfresh grated coconut

Instructions

1

Mix the warm cooked rice with sugar while it is still hot enough that the sugar dissolves in slightly rather than sitting as gritty crystals.

2

Let the sweetened rice cool just enough to handle.

3

Shape the sweetened rice into small balls or logs using slightly damp hands, which stops the sticky rice clinging to your fingers.

4

Roll each one in fresh grated coconut right before serving, so the coconut stays fresh and does not go soggy sitting on the rice.
