Sweet Glutinous Rice Dumplings Dessert

Sweet Glutinous Rice Dumplings Dessert, a simple and cherished treat, requires just glutinous rice as its main ingredient. Particularly popular during Lunar New Year and the Lantern Festival, this dessert involves shaping the glutinous rice into dumplings, skewering them on sticks, grilling them, and brushing them with coconut cream. The result is a delightful combination of soft and chewy rice dumplings, immersed in a light ginger syrup.

The ingredients for this dessert include glutinous rice, water, and palm sugar. To begin, the palm sugar is shaved and rolled into small balls. The white dough is formed by combining flour with water gradually. Each small piece of dough is flattened, and a piece of palm sugar is placed in the center before being rolled into a small ball. These dumplings are then boiled in a pot of water until they float to the top. After boiling, they are briefly placed in cold water to cool the palm sugar inside and prevent any burns when consumed.

To enhance the presentation and flavor, the dumplings are garnished with shredded young coconut, toasted sesame seeds, and coconut flakes. The final touch involves serving the Sweet Glutinous Rice Dumplings Dessert as a delightful and traditional dessert option, perfect for celebrating Lunar New Year or simply enjoying on any occasion.
