Ingredients

  • 8 oz. glutinous rice, sticky rice flour
  • 180 ml water
Filling:
  • 3 oz. ground peanuts
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons fine sugar
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons peanut butter
Ginger Syrup (姜茶):
  • 5 cups water reduced to 4 cups after boiling
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 oz. old ginger skin peeled and then lightly pounded with the flat side of a cleaver
  • 2 screwpine leaves or pandan leaves tie them into a knot, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix all the ingredients for the filling in a bowl until well combined and easily shapeable into balls. If the mixture feels dry, add a bit more peanut butter. Divide the mixture into 24 balls.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the glutinous rice flour with the water until it forms a smooth paste that no longer sticks to your hands. Divide the mixture into 24 equal balls. Flatten each ball in your palm, then place a filling ball in the center. Fold the edges to seal the dumpling, ensuring the filling is completely wrapped. Gently roll the dumpling into a smooth ball shape using both palms. Set aside.
  3. To prepare the ginger syrup, bring the water to a boil in a pot. Add the ginger and pandan leaves (if using) and let it boil for 10-15 minutes over medium heat. Then, add the sugar and continue boiling for another 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer, allowing the syrup to reduce to about 4 cups. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.
  4. Bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Gently drop the dumplings into the boiling water. Once they float to the top, remove them and transfer them into the ginger syrup. Turn off the heat and serve the peanut dumplings in a bowl immediately.
