One serving has 734 kcal and 10 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of manganese (94%), copper (58%), vitamin K (41%), niacin (33%), pyridoxine (33%) and magnesium (29%). Ready in 30 minutes.
- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (170 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free
- Contains: peanut, sesame
Ingredients
- 55 g Rice flour, glutinous
- 20 g Sugar
- 30 g Water
- 20 g Vegetable oil
- 20 g Coconut, desiccated
- 20 g Peanuts, roasted
- 5 g Sesame seeds
Method
- Knead the glutinous rice flour with half the sugar, the water and 1 tablespoon of the oil into a smooth, pliable dough; cover and rest 15 minutes.
- Mix the desiccated coconut, crushed roasted peanuts, sesame seeds and remaining sugar together for the filling.
- Divide the dough into small pieces and flatten each into a thin disc.
- Place a spoonful of the peanut-coconut filling on one half of each disc, fold over into a half-moon, and crimp the edge firmly, pinching a decorative rope pattern if you like.
- Heat the remaining oil in a wok to about 160°C (320°F) and fry the dumplings over medium-low heat, turning often, for 6-8 minutes until deep golden and cooked through; the low temperature keeps the skin from splitting.
- Drain well on paper towels and cool slightly before serving, as the filling stays hot.
