Method:

1. Wash spinach, carrots and corn kernels. Cut the carrots into
   thin strips. Crush them separately into puree with a mixer.
   
   
2. Add 50 grams of glutinous rice powder into the corn puree and mix well. Add 1 tablespoon of white sugar, and mix well until all melted. Then knead the dough into small dumplings. Follow the same steps for the carrot mixture and spinach mixture to form small dumplings.
   
   
3. Bring water to the boil and add in the dumplings and cook until they float. Add the rock sugar and sweet-scented osmanthus and heat until melted. Ready to serve.

Smart tip: The vegetable mixture enclosing the dumplings enhances the fibre content.
