Steps

1

Toast the black sesame seeds until fragrant, then grind them finely using a mortar and pestle.
2

In a pan, combine the unsalted butter, sugar, coconut milk, and ground black sesame seeds. Turn off the heat and shape the mixture into small balls for the filling.
3

Mix the glutinous rice flour with a pinch of salt and 1/2 cup boiling water (about 120 ml). Then add about 1 1/2 tablespoons cool water (about 20 ml) and knead until smooth. Let the dough rest for 20-30 minutes.
4

To make the ginger syrup, combine 5 cups water (about 1.2 liters), sliced ginger, rock sugar, and dried red dates in a pot. Bring to a boil.
5

After the dough has rested, divide it into pieces and wrap each piece around a ball of filling. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the dumplings, and cook until they float to the surface.
6

Transfer the cooked dumplings to the hot ginger syrup. Serve warm, topped with sliced almonds or peanuts if desired.
