Squeeze firmly until no more water comes out. Let the mixture rest for 24 hours, then knead it with the cornstarch. Form into small balls. For the syrup, bring the water and sugar to a boil and reduce for about 5 minutes. Carefully add the cheese balls to the hot syrup and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
