In a frying pan, toast the grated coconut over low heat until it turns golden brown. Set aside. 4. In the same pan, dissolve the brown sugar in 1/2 cup of water over low heat. 5. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the glutinous rice balls to the pan. 6. Cook the glutinous rice balls in the sugar syrup for about 10 minutes, or until they float to the surface. 7.
