Step 1
In a bowl, mix 1 cup glutinous rice flour with 0.5 cup water until a soft dough forms. Knead until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the balls and cook until they float, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Drain the dumplings and thread 3 onto each skewer. In a small pan, combine 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1 tbsp mirin; simmer over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Brush the glaze over the dumplings on all sides. Serve warm or at room temperature.
