Method
Knead the glutinous rice flour with the water in a mixing bowl until it forms a smooth, soft dough that does not stick to your hands.
Divide into 16 pieces, roll into balls and press a small dimple into the centre of each with your fingertip.
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and cook the dumplings for 3 minutes until they float to the surface.
Lift out with a slotted spoon straight into a bowl of iced water to cool and firm up.
Drain well and divide between bowls with the sliced strawberries.
Drizzle with the kuromitsu syrup to serve.
