your recipes are sooo helpful! have you ever tried a combo of sticky rice flour and rice flour- for these? another web blog, of the fatty reader suggested that-

Glutinous Rice Balls/Tangyuan (湯圓)

1/2 cup sweet rice flour + 1/2 cup regular rice flour
Hot water
1 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)

filling- black sesame powder plus maple syrup
or sweetened black bean paste
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Combine the sweet rice flour, rice flour, and sugar in a bowl. Add hot water a tablespoon at a time, mixing with chopsticks, until the dough is not sticky but also not dry. It should be moist to the touch, without being sticky. If you accidentally add too much water, just add more of the rice flour and sweet rice flour, in equal parts.

Can I use peanut butter instead of the unsalted butter? If so how much do you think I should use? Thanks!!!

The sesame paste is not supposed to be chewy, it should be like the picture oozing out from the tang yuan.
