- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup sweetened red bean paste (or sesame paste)
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
- 1In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, sugar, and salt.
- 2Gradually add water while mixing, until a soft dough forms.

- 4Flatten each ball into a disc and place about half a teaspoon of red bean paste in the center.
- 5Carefully fold the disc over the filling and pinch the edges to seal it, forming a small ball.
- 6Optionally, color some dough with food coloring to create decorative colors for the cakes.
- 7Bring a pot of water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Place a steamer basket lined with parchment paper over the pot.
- 8Arrange the filled rice cakes in the steamer, making sure they do not touch each other. Cover and steam for about 20 minutes.
- 9Once done, remove them from the steamer and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
