Directions
Chinese Sticky Rice Dumplings, A Dim Sum dish. These dumplings are made from sticky or glutinous rice flour and have a soft chewy texture. This version has a pork and prawn filling. You can have fun making new filling combinations for these little dumplings. For a vegetarian version you could add more veges and use finely chopped tofu (you would need to thoroughly remove excess liquid from the tofu). This dish can be cooked gluten free by ensuring the cornflour and soy sauce used are GF. Glutinous rice does not contain any gluten. These are time consuming to make, but will impress!, I never came across a recipe for stuffed mochi; thank you for sharing yours., These are excellent, although I will make them more spciy next time. Be sure to use a spoonin stead of a whisk to mix the dough. Then be sure to cover the dough as instructed. It dries quickly and I even found it helpful to quickly dunk each dough slice in water before rolling. I also sprinkled the sesame seeds on the table, placed the dough slice on top, and then rolled out the wrappers. This helped the sesame seed stick. These were worth the work–especially as they are gluten-free!
