Method
- Mix ground peanuts, sugar, and sesame seeds. Add a few drops of water or coconut oil only if needed to help the filling clump.
- In a bowl, combine glutinous rice flour and salt, then add warm water gradually until a soft dough forms.
- Divide dough into small balls and flatten each into a disk.
- Place a little peanut filling in the centre, then seal and roll gently into a smooth ball.
- Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil and drop in the balls.
- Cook until they float and become tender, then simmer one minute more.
- Lift out, drain, and serve warm, plain or with grated coconut.
