Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

- Wash the sticky rice twice in water and then soak for about 5-6 hours. After soaking, take out the sticky rice and rinse it with water twice to clean it. 
- Roast the peanuts until cooked, remove the outer shell and crush them. 
- Peel the onions and garlic, wash them, crush them and chop them finely. 

Step 2: Marinate the meat to make dipping sauce 

Put 150 grams of minced meat in a large bowl, then marinate with 1/3 teaspoon of seasoning powder, ½ teaspoon of sugar and 1/3 teaspoon of pepper. Finally, add 1 teaspoon of minced onion and garlic. Use chopsticks to stir well so that the meat absorbs the spices for 10-15 minutes. 

Step 2: Grind sticky rice 

After washing the sticky rice, put it in the Tapuho multi-function blender and blend it with 300ml of filtered water for 15-30 seconds. Once you see the sticky rice is ground into liquid, it's done. 

Step 3: Stir-fry the meat 

Heat the pan and add 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Wait for the oil to heat up, then add chopped onions and garlic and saute until fragrant. When the onions and garlic start to turn golden brown, add the minced meat and stir-fry until the meat is cooked. 

When the meat is almost cooked, add a tablespoon of annatto oil to color the meat. Stir well for a few minutes to let the spices soak in, then turn off the heat. 

Step 4: Cook spring roll dipping sauce 

Boil 1 liter of water then add the stir-fried minced meat above to cook together. Next, slowly add the glutinous rice flour mixture, use a spoon to stir well so that the glutinous rice does not clump. 

Then, reduce the heat and simmer the spring roll dipping sauce for about 50-60 minutes. When the dipping sauce has started to thicken, add 100ml of filtered water and stir well. 

Finally, add more spices including: ½ teaspoon of seasoning powder, ½ teaspoon of MSG, 1 tablespoon of salt and 100 grams of rock sugar. You can adjust the dipping sauce according to your own preferences and taste.
