Rice Cake Base

Method

Preparing the Rice Cake Base

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, water, salt, and sugar. Stir until you achieve a smooth batter without lumps.

  2. 2

    Steam the Mixture

    Pour the batter into a greased steaming tray or dish. Steam over high heat for about 30 minutes, or until the mixture is set and firm to touch. Let it cool completely before removing from the tray.

  3. 3

    Slice the Rice Cake

    Once cooled, remove the rice cake from the tray and slice it into desired shapes (squares or rectangles) for frying.

Frying the Rice Cake

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Fry the Rice Cakes

    Add the sliced rice cakes to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 6

    Add Flavorings

    Once the rice cakes are fried, add minced garlic and chopped green onions to the pan. Stir-fry for an additional minute until fragrant.

  4. 7

    Season

    Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the fried rice cakes. Sprinkle white pepper and toss everything gently to coat the rice cakes evenly.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
