Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Rice Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water. Mix until you achieve a smooth batter.

Add Food Coloring (Optional)
If you want colored rice candy, add food coloring to the batter and mix until the color is evenly distributed.

Cook the Mixture
Pour the mixture into a greased steamer or a heat-proof dish. Steam over boiling water for about 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture is firm and cooked through.

Prepare the Filling
If using, prepare your peanut filling by grinding roasted peanuts and mixing them with a bit of sugar.

Shape the Candy
Once the dough is cooked, let it cool slightly. Dust your hands with cornstarch to prevent sticking, take a small piece of dough, flatten it, and place some peanut filling in the center. Fold the dough over the filling and shape it into a ball or disc.
