Glutinous Rice Balls

My mother in law sent me so much pandan leaves last week and I did not what else to do after using some for the dishes that I made last week. We are still left with plenty. Finally,I decided to use them for making Tong Yuen or Glutinous Rice Balls. The syrup was cooked with a couple of pandan leaves in addition to ginger. As for the green balls, I used the readily available pandan essence, it is so much more practical...........



I love Tong Yuen and at least one of my kids loves them too. I just dislike shaping the dough into small balls because it is really time consuming, especially when nobody is able to help out. It's all good now, done in a little bit over an hour. Not bad.
