Method
- Mix rice flour and salt, then add water gradually until the dough is soft and smooth.
- Shape into small oblong patties of equal thickness.
- Boil in batches; when the pieces float, simmer 1–2 minutes longer and drain.
- In a wide pan, simmer brown sugar, 1/2 cup water, and salt until slightly thick.
- Add young coconut and cook 2 minutes until tender but still springy.
- Add the dumplings and turn gently until every piece is coated and the syrup clings.
- Serve warm. The centre should be chewy and fully cooked, never chalky.
