Glutinous Rice Dumplings

Glutinous rice dumplings are a delightful treat made with sticky rice flour, filled with a sweet and nutty filling, and served in a warm syrup. This traditional Chinese dessert is not only delicious but also offers a unique chewy texture that is sure to please any palate.

Ingredients

• Glutinous rice flour - 100 grams
• Water - 75 ml
• Red bean paste - 50 grams
• Chopped walnuts - 20 grams
• Sugar - 30 grams
• Coconut milk - 100 ml
• Sesame seeds - 10 grams

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour and water to form a smooth dough. Knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes elastic.
2. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a small disc and place 1 tablespoon of red bean paste and a few chopped walnuts in the center.
3. Carefully fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal, rolling it into a ball shape. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
4. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
5. While the dumplings are cooking, prepare the syrup by combining coconut milk and sugar in a small saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
6. Once the dumplings are cooked, remove them from the water and serve them warm in bowls, drizzled with the coconut syrup and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
