 - Add 1/2 cup-1 cup of hot water in “3” and mix it with a spoon first and fold it by hand to make dough. (The amount of hot water varies depending on the dryness of sweet rice powder you use, so first use 1/2 cup of hot water to make your dough and put more hot water while kneading the dough)
 - Make small rice balls with the dough about 0.5 cm diameter.
 - When the red bean soup boils, add the rice balls and cook it.
 - Keep stirring the soup and it will get thicker.
