Method

For the Gui Chai Rice Cakes

1

Mix the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, water, finely chopped garlic chives, and salt. Stir until a smooth batter forms.

2

Cook the Rice Cakes

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a little vegetable oil. Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan, spreading it out into a round cake. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

3

Serve

Once cooked, remove the rice cakes from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with the spicy sweet soy sauce drizzled over the top.
