Rolling Donkey (Steamed Glutinous Rice Roll)

Rolling Donkey is traditional Chinese dessert filled with red bean paste or brown sugar.It doesn’t come with any donkey meat. It can be trace to the Qing Dynasty. Rolling Donkey usually rolled with soybean flour crumble and sweet red bean paste.Also It is sticky and soft. However I can not get the soybean flour crumble in Canada so that I use shredded coconut instead of the soybean flour.
