Whisk the rice flour, tapioca starch and remaining salt with the remaining water until smooth.
Whisk the brown sugar syrup into the flour mixture until completely combined and lump-free.
Pour the batter into small greased moulds and steam over boiling water for 25 minutes until firm and glossy.
Leave to cool until firm enough to handle, then turn out and roll each piece in the steamed desiccated coconut to serve.
