* 1 Cup water

* 1 Teaspoon Pandan flavor or 4 medium sized pandan leaves (optional)

* 2 Cups grated coconut

* 1/2 Cup sugar

Cooking Instructions

1).  Boil water in a pot. Drop a teaspoon of pandan flavor or fresh leaves.

2).  Put rice flour in a mixing bowl. Slowly add water until reaching the desired consistency.

NOTE: The dough should hold together and separate cleanly from the bowl.

3).  Pinch off about 2 tablespoons (of dough) and form it into a ball between the palms.

4).  Flatten to form a patty (about 1 1/2  inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick).

5).  Poach the flattened dough into the pot of briskly boiling water.

6).  Boil until they rise and float to the top, usually 1 to 3 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the ball shaped dough.

7).  Scoop them out with a wire mesh skimmer and drain.

8).  Roll the rice patties in coconut. Serve it on a plate with mixed Chia or sesame seeds and sugar. Enjoy!
