Let's start by making some cute containers for our dessert! Take some foil and cut it into thin, long pieces, about 4 inches in length and ¾ inch thick. You'll need around 8-10 of these.
Next, let's add some color to our glutinous rice flour. Grab a small bowl and mix some water with food coloring. Give it a good stir until the color is evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, pour in the glutinous rice flour and add the colored water two tablespoons at a time. Stir with a spoon after each addition until the mixture is well combined. Once you've added all the liquid, use your hands to mix the dough and break up any clumps.
Now it's time to fill our foil containers! Generously brush the inside of each container with butter or margarine, and then spoon in the glutinous rice mixture. Steam the containers for 10-15 minutes, and then let them cool down a bit.
Once they're cool, carefully remove the rice logs from the foil and place them on some banana leaves. Brush the leaves with butter or margarine and add up to 4-5 logs per leaf.
Finally, add some toppings to make it even more delicious! Brush the top and sides of the rice logs with butter or margarine, and then sprinkle on some grated coconut and brown sugar or muscovado. If you like, you can also add grated cheese or roasted sesame seeds. Yum!
