1

Prepare the taro filling

Peel and chop 400 grams of taro root into small pieces. Steam the taro until it is soft and mashable. Once cooled, use a fork or a potato masher to mash the taro until smooth. Add 1/4 cup of sugar and a pinch of salt to taste. Mix well and set aside.

2

Make the dumpling dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of glutinous rice flour and 3/4 cup of hot water. Mix with a spoon until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.

3

Shape the dumplings

Take a small portion of the dough and flatten it into a circle, about the size of your palm. Place a tablespoon of the taro filling in the center of the dough. Gather the edges of the dough and seal it tightly, making sure there are no gaps. Repeat this process until all the dough and filling are used.

4

Steam the dumplings

Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Arrange the dumplings in the steamer, leaving some space between each dumpling. Steam them over high heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and the dough turns translucent.

5

Serve and enjoy

Carefully remove the steamed taro dumplings from the steamer and let them cool slightly. Serve them warm as a delightful snack or as a dessert. These dumplings can also be enjoyed cold. Indulge in the purple bliss!
