In a mixing bowl, combine 200 grams of glutinous rice flour, 100 grams of sugar, and 180 milliliters of water. Mix until smooth.

Add 30 milliliters of vegetable oil to the mixture and stir until well combined.

Divide the dough into equal portions, about 30 grams each, and shape them into balls.

Dust a clean surface with glutinous rice flour to prevent sticking.

Flatten each dough ball and place a spoonful of custard filling in the center.

Wrap the dough around the custard filling and seal tightly, ensuring there are no cracks.

Shape the filled dough into a smooth ball or use a mooncake mold to create a design.

Chill the mooncakes in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
