  4. Flatten each ball and place a small amount of sweet filling in the center.
  5. Carefully fold the dough over the filling and roll it into a ball shape again, making sure the filling is completely covered.
  6. Bring a pot of water to a boil.
  7. Add the rice balls to the boiling water and cook them until they float to the surface, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
