Ingredients for Coconut-Stuffed Rice Cakes
- Outer layer: 250g glutinous rice flour, salt, sugar, hot boiling water

Step 1: How to Make Coconut-Stuffed Rice Cakes
- Outer layer: Mix glutinous rice flour, a small pinch of salt, two tablespoons of sugar, gradually pour hot boiling water, stirring gently while pouring, until the mixture is soft and doughy. Knead evenly for about 5 minutes, and the dough should be lightly pressed without sticking to your hands. Wrap the dough mixture tightly with plastic wrap and let it rest for about 1 hour to allow the dough to rise.
Step 2:
- Roast the peanuts until golden, then crush them.
- Put 110g of sugar and 150ml of distilled water into a deep pan, bring to a boil.
Step 3:
- Cook until the sugar turns caramel in color, then quickly add the grated coconut and stir together. Continue cooking for about 5 - 10 minutes until the sugar dries out and the coconut becomes sticky, then turn off the heat.
Step 4:
- Add roasted peanuts, tapioca flour, and a little salt, mix well, let it cool, and shape into balls with your hands.
- Rinse banana leaves thoroughly and let them drain.
- Cut banana leaves into rectangular pieces measuring 25x15 cm.
Step 6:
- Place another banana leaf on top, use your index finger to hold the center and fold the corner from left to right, rolling it into a funnel shape.
Step 7:
- The dough from step 1, after proofing, is divided into small pieces sufficient to wrap the filling, flattened out, with the coconut filling placed in the center, then shaped into balls to seal.
Step 8:
- Place the dough balls wrapped with filling onto the arranged banana leaves, fold the bottom edge to seal tightly, repeating until all remaining portions are done.
Step 9:
- Steam the pot until boiling, arrange the cakes in the steamer, cover tightly, and steam the cakes for 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 10: Finished Product
The cakes are ready, serve hot or cold, both delicious.
Wishing you success and deliciousness!
