Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sweet rice flour (glutinous rice flour)
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Cornstarch (for dusting)
- Red bean paste or other fillings (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet rice flour, water, sugar, and salt to form a smooth batter. Stir until well combined and the mixture feels glossy and slightly thick.
- Transfer the batter to a steam-proof dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Steam the batter over simmering water for about 20-30 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it firms up and loses its glossy sheen.
- Once cooled, dust a clean surface with cornstarch, then gently remove the rice cake from the dish.
- Cut into desired shapes, serve, and add red bean paste or other fillings if desired.
Notes
Use plenty of cornstarch to prevent sticking. Experiment with flavors like vanilla or citrus zest.
