Equipment

Ingredients
Palitaw Dough
- 1 Cup Glutinous Rice Flour
- ¼ Cup Sugar
- ½ Cup Any Milk or Water
Sweet Soy Sauce Glaze (from Just One Cookbook)
- 4 Tablespoons Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Mirin
- 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- ⅔ Cup Water minus 2 Tablespoons
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
Instructions
- Make the Palitaw Dough: Place the sweet glutinous rice flour and sugar in a bowl and mix well. Add in the milk and blend into the flour mixture. It’s going to seem a bit sandy in the beginning, but keep mixing and kneading for 5 minutes until you get a nice soft ball of Palitaw dough. Divide the dough into small balls, it makes about 19 balls.
- Form the Palitaw Disks: Then wet your hands and flatten each ball into a disk.
- Boil the Palitaw: Bring a large pot of water to boil and drop in the Palitaw disks in one by one. Stir on occasion so they don’t stick to the bottom of the pot. Once they float up the top cook for a further 5 minutes to make sure they are supper soft. Drain out the Palitaw disks and lay them out on a serving platter.
- Make the Sweet Soy Glaze: Please follow the instructions on Just One Cookbook. It's not good to steal recipes so I am directing you to the original creator.
- Serve the Palitaw with Sweet Soy Glaze: Spoon the glaze all over the Palitaw disks and eat right away.
