Ingredients
Peanut Nuggets
- 8 oz (250g) glutinous (sticky) rice flour
- ¾ cup (185 ml) water
- Water, for boiling
- 3 tablespoons roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped, to garnish
Coating
- 3 oz (75g) ground peanuts
- 3 oz (75g) fine sugar
- 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds, lightly toasted
Instructions
- Add the glutinous rice flour in a big bowl and pour the water slowly, kneading it while adding water until it forms a dough. The dough is ready when it’s no longer sticky and the surface becomes smooth, about 10 minutes. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll them into two cylinders. Cut each cylinder into 12 equal pieces.
- Gently roll each piece of the dough into a ball shape using both palms.
- Mix all the ingredients for the coating until in a bowl. Set aside.
- Bring the water to a boil in a pot. Gently transfer the glutinous rice balls into the boiling water and boil until they float to the top, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the rice balls with a strainer or slotted spoon, shake off the excess water and then coat them generously with the coating. Garnish the sweet peanut nuggets with the chopped roasted peanuts and serve immediately.
