Rice balls with coconut dressing

Rice balls with coconut dressing is a traditional Myanmar food from Myeik, the southern region of Myanmar. It is usually stuffed with palm sugar and peanut. The receipe is similar to another Myanmar food, Mote Lone Yay Paw, but it is often served with pearl sago and coconut dressing. So this is a perfect receipe to make and share during Myanmar New Year as a variation to a more popular food Mote Lone Yay Paw.
