Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Rice flour
- 30 grams Tapioca starch
- 20 grams Cornstarch
- 400 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (finely chopped)
- 50 grams Cooked shrimp or tofu (optional, finely chopped)
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, tapioca starch, and cornstarch.
Gradually add water to the flour mixture while stirring continuously to ensure there are no lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly runny.
Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil. Use a flat, heatproof plate or tray that fits into the steamer to shape the rice rolls.
Lightly spray the plate or tray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour a thin layer of the batter onto the plate or tray, just enough to coat the surface evenly. Cover the steamer with a lid and steam for 2-3 minutes, or until the batter turns translucent.
Remove the tray from the steamer and, using a silicone spatula, gently loosen the edges of the steamed layer. Roll it up to form a cylindrical shape.
Repeat the steaming and rolling process with the remaining batter. If desired, add a small amount of cooked shrimp or tofu along with chopped green onions before rolling for added flavor.
Once all rolls are complete, arrange them on a serving dish.
Prepare a dipping sauce by mixing low-sodium soy sauce and sesame oil. Serve the rolls warm with dipping sauce on the side.
