Thai sweet coconut dumplings (khanom tom style)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Cakes and Desserts
Dessert inspired by Thai 'Khanom Tom'. Rice flour and tapioca mix creates a unique, gummy-bear like elastic, 'chewy' texture upon heating, highly prized in Asian cuisine. Coconut milk not only flavours but softens the dough as a fat.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Steamer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Banana leaf or baking paper

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix flours with sugar, salt, and desiccated coconut. Gradually pour in coconut milk and knead smooth dough.

Tip: Tapioca gives elasticity, rice flour structure. Ratio determines texture.
2 ✓

Rest for 5 minutes for flours to hydrate.

3 ✓

Form dumplings with wet hands.

Tip: Dough can be sticky, water forms layer between hand and dough.
4 ✓

Place in steamer lined with banana leaf or paper. Steam 10-12 minutes until dough slightly translucent.

Tip: Translucency indicates starch has cooked (gelatinised).
5 ✓

Serve warm.

Tip: When cold, starch retrogrades and dumpling becomes harder.
