Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to use glutinous rice flour, not regular rice flour, for this recipe. The glutinous rice flour gives the rice cakes their chewy texture.
  • When kneading the dough, make sure to use plenty of flour on your hands and work surface to prevent sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the steamer basket when cooking the rice cakes. Leave some space between the pieces so they cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a steamer basket, you can also cook the rice cakes in boiling water for 5-7 minutes until they float to the surface.
