It was really cold today…30C which is a drop from the usual 40C so we were both seeking some warming, comforting food.  So, today I made steamed glutinous rice balls…I have deliberately not called them mochi balls because they are made Chinese-style ie. the way I watched my mum make them and she is Chinese.  I note that mochi balls are made from steamed dough which is cut into rounds, filled and then ready to eat.  My recipe uses uncooked glutinous rice flour dough, which is filled and then steamed.  Instead of the typical red bean paste, I made sweetened black bean paste and because black beans are eaten here in Belize, I have called the recipe Belizean-style!

This is how we really ate them:
