Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Rice Balls with Sweet Coconut Coating.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, blend together rice flour, shredded coconut, and three-quarters of a cup of coconut milk until a smooth, pliable dough emerges.
Step 2
Take about a tablespoon of this delightful mixture and roll it into a small ball, repeating the process until all the dough is transformed into perfectly shaped spheres.
Step 3
In a pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers invitingly.
Step 4
Gently introduce the rice balls into the hot oil, frying them until they achieve a lovely light golden brown hue, which should take around five minutes.
Step 5
Once they are beautifully crisp, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 6
Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, pour in half a cup of coconut milk and bring it to a gentle boil.
Step 7
Stir in brown sugar and let the mixture simmer until it thickens, about two to three minutes, then take it off the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Step 8
Now, dip each golden rice ball into the luscious sweet coconut coating, letting any extra drizzle off.
Step 9
Allow them to cool just a bit before serving, and enjoy the delightful contrast of crispy exterior and sweet, creamy interior.
