Honey Cherry Crystal Rice Dumplings
Compared with traditional rice dumplings, crystal rice dumplings are like a more charming and lovely lace doll!
Small, cute and crystal clear, which attracts our attention even more.
I have been wanting to try it since last year, but I didn't put it into action until this year. Although it cannot be called perfect, it is more than enough to please children!
No added color, the use of honey-stained cherries embedded.
Originally, it was expected that the crystal clear outer skin would set off the red cherries. Unexpectedly, what was contrary to expectations. After boiling the cherries, the color turned yellow, which was far from red.
The honey-stained cherries made by yourself are healthy, hygienic and sweeter!

  • Honey Cherry Crystal Rice Dumplings Make Tips

    1. The sago does not need to be soaked in advance, and do not put too much water in it. 2. Add a little salad oil to the sago to prevent sticking and make the rice dumplings more crystal clear. 3. Cooling the rice dumplings will make the rice dumplings taste better! 4. Crystal rice dumplings are not as good as glutinous rice dumplings, so it's better to bind them more securely! (There is a leak in my bag)
