Cut the watermelon into chunks and blend until smooth to yield approximately 300 g of juice. Strain through a fine mesh sieve if desired.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, and sugar until well combined.
Add the watermelon juice and melted butter to the dry mixture, stirring until smooth.
Pour the batter into a heatproof dish lined with parchment paper. Steam over boiling water for about 20–25 minutes until cooked through.
Once steamed, cool slightly, then dust your workspace with cooked glutinous rice flour. Knead gently and roll out into discs or cut into squares.
Dust each piece with additional glutinous rice flour before serving. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature!
