    Add water to a pot and bring it to a boil. Slowly put the glutinous rice balls into the pot, gently push them apart with a spoon, and stir slightly in the same direction to prevent sticking. After boiling on high heat, reduce to medium-low heat to cook, adding cold water three times during the process. Cook until the glutinous rice balls float entirely, then they are ready to be served.
