- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp sugar
- Pink food coloring (or beet juice)
- 1/2 cup sweet red bean paste (or filling of choice)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix glutinous rice flour, tapioca flour, sugar, and warm water until a smooth dough forms.

- Roll each portion into thin circles and arrange them in a slightly overlapping petal formation.
- Place a small amount of sweet red bean paste in the center of each petal set.
- Carefully roll the dough over the filling and shape it into a rose-like dumpling.
- Steam the dumplings for 10–12 minutes until soft, glossy, and slightly translucent.

Notes
- You can use different fillings like black sesame paste, lotus seed paste, or fruit preserves.
- To enhance the floral aesthetic, brush the dumplings lightly with edible rose water before serving.
- If the dough is too sticky, dust your hands with a little extra glutinous rice flour while shaping.
