Sticky Rice with Dried Fruit and Nuts

In Korea these rosy hued rice balls are served as a snack. Mixed with dates, pine nuts and chestnuts, the chewy rice is transformed into something naturally sweet and nutritious. You can make the rice mixture into balls to eat as snack, or serve it hot in a bowl as a side dish with roast pork, chicken or turkey. This dish takes planning ahead as you must soak the rice for 5 hours. To freeze and reheat portions of the rice mixture, see “Rice Anytime”.<
