In a bowl, combine the crushed strawberries, sugar, and wet glutinous rice. Mix them well until everything is nicely incorporated

Once mixed, knead the dough by hand. If you find it a bit sticky, you can add a tablespoon of glutinous rice flour to help with the texture

Once cooked, remove the dough balls and immediately place them in a bowl of ice water. This helps to cool them down quickly and prevents sticking
