2 cups water
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup rice flour
1 cup grated coconut
½ cup molasses
1 teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

Tips:

  • Prepare the ingredients in advance: This will help you save time and ensure that you have everything you need before you start cooking.
  • Soak the glutinous rice overnight: This will help the rice to cook more evenly and prevent it from becoming too sticky.
  • Use a large pot to cook the rice dumplings: This will give the dumplings enough space to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the dumplings will not cook evenly and may stick together.
  • Cook the dumplings over medium heat: This will help to prevent the dumplings from sticking to the pot and will also help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Stir the dumplings occasionally: This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Serve the dumplings hot: The dumplings are best served hot, so make sure to enjoy them as soon as they are done cooking.

Conclusion:

Coconut and molasses-filled rice dumplings are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for a snack or a dessert, and they are also a great way to use up leftover rice.
