🍃 How to Make Durian Dumplings 🍃

Here is a recipe for durian dumplings, one of the most popular traditional Burmese snacks, with a delicious taste and the fragrant aroma of banana leaves.

🧺 Ingredients

• Durian (ripe) - 1 medium-sized
• Glutinous rice flour - 1 measuring cup
• Rice flour - 1/4 measuring cup
• Sugar - 30 grams (or to taste)
• Shredded coconut - 1 measuring cup
• Banana leaves - as needed
• Salt - a pinch
• Toothpicks - for securing the dumplings

🍳 Cooking Instructions

1

Preparing the filling

Remove the seeds from the durian flesh and mix it with the shredded coconut and sugar in a bowl until well combined.

2

Preparing the glutinous rice dough

In a clean bowl, mix the glutinous rice flour, rice flour, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and knead until you get a smooth and soft dough.

3

Wrapping the dumplings

Cut the cleaned banana leaves into medium-sized pieces. Flatten a small amount of dough in your hand, place the durian filling in the center. Seal the dough completely to prevent the filling from leaking out, then wrap it with a banana leaf and secure it with a toothpick.

4

Steaming the dumplings

Add water to a steamer and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, arrange the wrapped dumplings inside and steam for 20 to 30 minutes.

📝 Tips

• You can adjust the amount of sugar to your liking.
• If banana leaves are not available, you can use heat-resistant plastic or aluminum foil. However, the fragrant aroma of the banana leaf makes the dumplings even more delicious.
