  2. 2
    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the rice balls, and remove them when they float to the surface. Drain.
  3. 3
    Bring half the coconut cream to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent it from separating, then add the flour balls.

    If serving this dish with eggs, in a separate saucepan bring water to a boil and reduce heat, then crack eggs one at a time into the water. When eggs are done, remove from water and set aside.
  6. 6
    Serve as dessert in small bowls, adding one egg per bowl. Thais often add sweet corn kernels to the final product.
