My friend's mother (from vietnam) used to make these sweet rice balls that had yellow lentils on the outside. Does anyone know what they are or how to make them?

    sounds like chicken rice ball to me...

    I mean the process of making it should be similar.

    Why did not you pick up the skills of making it from you mother?

    One of my dearest friend, often joke.
    that he wasted the time and knowledge, wishes that he would have learnt to cook from his mother's delicious home Indonesia- chinese food
    after his mother passed away.


    well... what can i say...

      I've actually learned quite a lot of my cooking skills from my mother, she's from fiji so we do a lot of indian/islander fusion sort of stuff. But she didn't make these a friend's mother did.

          Thanks Jensen...if you can't find a recipe though, do you know what kind of lentils or beans might have been on the outside? They were small (like a lentil or split pea) and bright yellow. I think I may be able to figure the rest out...if I'm remembering correctly they also had coconut in them.
