Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, mix 1 cup sweet rice flour with 0.5 cup water until a dough forms. Knead briefly until smooth, then roll into 1-inch balls.

  2. Step 2

    Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the rice balls, and cook until they float to the surface, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    In a small pan, combine 2 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tbsp honey. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture bubbles and thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add the cooked rice balls to the pan and toss to coat them evenly with the glaze. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the glaze clings to the balls.

  5. Step 5

    Cut 1 green apple and 1 yellow peach into bite-sized chunks. Thread the rice balls and fruit alternately onto skewers and serve warm.
