Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Mix glutinous rice flour with hot water, then add cold water as you mix and knead. Cover and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: Mix black sesame powder, desiccated coconut, melted butter, peanut butter, and honey. Freeze until firm.
- Prepare the Soup: Combine water, sugar, and coffee creamer in a pot.
- Assemble the Rice Balls: Divide the dough and filling into equal pieces. Shave a piece of dough into a bowl, add a piece of filling, then seal it by pinching the dough together. Smooth out the seam by rolling it around in your palms.
- Cook the Rice Balls: Cook the tong yun in a pot of boiling water for five minutes. They're ready when they float. Transfer them into an ice water bath to prevent sticking.
- Finish the Soup: In a clean pot, boil the sweet soup, add ginger and the cooked rice balls. Warm for 30 seconds.
