Ingredients:

1 cup glutinous rice flour

1/2 cup tapioca starch

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 cup warm water

Cooking Instructions:

In a large bowl, mix together the glutinous rice flour, tapioca starch, salt, vegetable oil and sugar until combined.

Slowly add the warm water to the mixture and stir until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and pliable.

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.

Flatten each ball into a disc shape about 3 inches in diameter.

Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each disc and fold it over to form a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges together to seal in the filling.

Place the dumplings on a steamer lined with parchment paper or banana leaves and steam for about 20 minutes or until cooked through.
