Instructions

1. 1

   Steam the taro until very soft, then mash it thoroughly.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the mashed taro, glutinous rice flour, granulated sugar, and water. Knead into a smooth, pliable dough. Add more water if needed, one teaspoon at a time.

3. 3

   Roll the dough into small, bite-sized dumplings, about 1-1.5 cm in diameter.

4. 4

   Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the taro dumplings and cook until they float to the surface, plus another 30 seconds to ensure they are cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

5. 5

   In a separate pot, combine the coconut milk, water (for soup), rock sugar, and knotted pandan leaf (if using). Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rock sugar dissolves completely.

6. 6

   Remove the pandan leaf (if used). Add the cooked taro dumplings to the sweet coconut milk soup.

7. 7

   Serve the Sweet Taro Dumplings in Coconut Milk warm or chilled.
