Mon Lon Ye Paw

Combine glutinous rice flour, standard rice flour, and salt in a large bowl, stirring to distribute the salt evenly throughout the dry mixture.

Add cold water gradually to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a soft, sticky dough forms that holds together but remains slightly wet.

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball, then press a thumb into the center of each to create a small well for the filling.

Insert one cube of palm sugar and a small handful of freshly grated coconut into the well of each dough ball, then pinch and seal the opening by rolling the edges together gently.

Bring 6 cups of water to a rolling boil in a large pot over high heat.

Carefully place the stuffed glutinous rice balls into the boiling water one by one, stirring gently to prevent sticking to the bottom.

Continue cooking over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the dumplings float to the surface, about 8-10 minutes.

Once the dumplings float, continue simmering for an additional 5 minutes to ensure the filling is heated through and the dough is completely cooked.

Use a slotted spoon to carefully transfer the Mon Lon Ye Paw to serving bowls, ladling some of the cooking liquid over each portion.

Serve while hot, allowing the sweet palm sugar to dissolve slightly into the liquid and perfume the dish with coconut flavor.
