Wash and pit the red dates. Peel and slice the ginger.
Place the red dates, ginger, rock sugar, and 200g water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.
Strain the mixture, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Let the liquid cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, wheat starch, and 200g water. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
Gradually pour the warm red date and ginger liquid into the flour mixture, stirring constantly until well combined and smooth.
Pour the batter into an oiled heatproof dish or mold. Steam for 30-40 minutes over high heat, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the pudding cool completely before slicing and serving. It tastes best chilled.
