Recipe adapted from 百度百科
Ingredients (original recipe makes 25 bowls, 4 dumplings per bowl ~ feel free to downsize this recipe)
Dumpling
1000g glutinous rice (糯米）
250g long grain non glutinous rice （籼米）
Filling
500g confectioner’s sugar
175g lard
50g black sesame
125g flour
Directions
– mill till you get a superfine texture and add sufficient water to get a soft dough. divide into equal portions and cover
– lightly fry sesame seeds till aromatic, then grind them with mortar and pestle. I did mine in a food processor
– add sugar, flour and lard to sesame seeds and mix well. pack mixture into a square and cut into 1.5cm cubes
– wrap a cube of filling with dough and seal seams
– bring a pot of water to boil and place dumplings into boiling water. turn to medium heat
– once dumplings float, add some cold water to the pot so that the water is still simmering but not at a rolling boil. turn dumplings to let it cook a bit more till skin is soft
– serve with sesame paste (mix sesame paste with superfine sugar and a bit of sesame oil)
– i boiled the rice balls for an additional 1 minute after they started floating
– i cooked the soup with rock sugar, some ginger slices, pandan leaves, and 1/2 tsp of dried osmanthus

Sound very good and I noticed the non glutinous flour in this recipe , never use this flour before, hope I can get some here..
Hi Victoria,
You made 100 dumplings! Are you serving these in a large party? For a second thought, in regardless the party is big and small, it is better to cook extra of these delicious dumplings to avoid any unnecessary food fighting :p
