Mix glutinous rice flour and water in a bowl until a smooth dough forms.

Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes elastic.

In a separate bowl, combine crushed peanuts, sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Flatten each ball and place a spoonful of the peanut mixture in the center.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal it tightly to form a dumpling.

Prepare a steamer and bring water to a boil.

Place the dumplings in the steamer basket and steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

Alternatively, heat oil in a pan over medium heat for frying.

Fry the dumplings until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and coconut flakes before serving.
