Method

1. 1 Gradually pour boiling water over the salted rice flour, knead for 10 minutes until a smooth, pliable dough forms that doesn't stick to your hands.
2. 2 Cover the dough tightly and let it rest for 20 minutes so that it absorbs the water evenly.
3. 3 Grind roasted sesame seeds with sugar and honey to make a sweet filling.
4. 4 Pinch the dough into a ball, flatten it, add the filling, then fold the edges to form a crescent shape and seal it.
5. 5 Steam the dumplings for 20 minutes, then remove, rinse quickly with cold water, and brush with sesame oil to make them shiny and non-sticky.
