Close the Rice Ball.

Pinching the Rice Ball Closed

D.Schmidt
Pinch the sides to cover the brown sugar and close it. Now take this rather flat rice ball back into your palms. Gently roll it once again to return it to its former ball shape. Place on a plate or cutting board dusted with glutinous rice flour.

Now repeat these steps with the rest of the dough until you have lots of sticky rice balls filled with brown sugar, and all of the dough is used up.

Note: depending what sort of shape you prefer, you can either leave the balls as they are, or press them down slightly to create more of a candy-like shape (see the photo in Step 9).
