Ingredients
For the Rice balls
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour
- ½ cup water more or less
- oil for frying
For the Sugar Syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Combine glutinous rice flour and water in a bowl and mix until a dough forms.
- Get a tablespoon of the dough and roll it into a ball. Do the same for the rest of the dough. Poke holes through them to prevent them from breaking/bursting too much when fried.
- Pour oil into a pan/skillet and heat over medium heat.
- Fry the balls in batches, if needed. Turn them from time to time for even cooking. Cook until they are light gold and double in size.
- Remove the carioca balls from the hot oil and transfer them to a cooling rack lined with paper towels.
- Make the caramel syrup by combining the sugar and water in a saucepan. Stir until sugar is dissolved . Cook over medium-low heat until bubbly.
- Turn the heat off and add the carioca balls to the pan. Gently stir to make sure the balls are fully coated with syrup.
- Skewer the rice balls into bamboo sticks and serve!
