ingredients:
- 1 3/4 ounces rice flour
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
- 3/4 teaspoon gelatin
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 4.73 fluid ounces hot water
- 28.69 fluid ounces water

step 1:
Place the matcha powder in a bowl. Pour 0.67 fluid ounce of the hot water into the bowl and stir until the matcha powder is dissolved.

step 2:
Add the remaining 4.73 fluid ounces hot water and mix. Add the gelatin and 2 tablespoons sugar and mix about 30 seconds until everything is completely dissolved. Let this mixture cool down for 20 minutes. Chill for 4 hours in the refrigerator.

step 3:
Put the rice flour and 1 tablespoon sugar in a bowl and little by little mix in 1.35 to 1.69 fluid ounces of the water (follow the cooking instructions on the bag). Form into 10 (2-cm) balls.

Pour the remaining 27 fluid ounces of water into a pan. Bring to a boil and add the balls. When they float back up to the top of the pan, continue boiling them for 1 minute.

step 5:
Remove the dumplings from the pan and place into a bowl of cold water for a few minutes. Remove from the water and serve in two bowls.

step 6:
Break up the matcha jelly with a fork and serve over the balls.
