Two-flavor Glutinous Rice Meatballs

Last updated 2026-11-15 — The two-flavor glutinous rice meatballs feature distinct colors, an attractive appearance, a soft and fragrant texture, and a delicious balance of sweet and savory flavors. Ingredients: 500g glutinous rice, 100g date paste filling, 100g chicken breast meat, 3 eggs, 50g cornstarch, half a red sausage, 50g cooked bamboo shoots, 50g shredded coconut, an appropriate amount of ginger, an appropriate amount of chopped scallions. The preparation process for the two-flavor glutinous rice meatballs is as follows: 1. Wash the glutinous rice and soak it in water (soaking time should be longer in winter and shorter in summer). Take 400g, mix it while hot with beaten egg and let the mixture cool; 2. Divide and roll the date paste filling into small balls, chop the chicken into small pieces, and dice the red sausage, ginger, and cooked bamboo shoots. Stir-fry them together to make a three-delicacy filling, then add chopped scallions and allow to cool; 3. Wrap the sweet and savory fillings separately with the glutinous rice dough, coat with the remaining soaked rice, and steam until cooked (about 5 minutes). After steaming, coat the sweet-filled meatballs evenly with shredded coconut. 4. Arrange on a plate and garnish beautifully. (Chengdu)
