Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 1 tablespoon Tapioca starch
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable oil, for greasing)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, tapioca starch, and cornstarch. Whisk together until well combined.
Gradually add the water to the bowl while whisking to create a smooth, thin batter. Ensure no lumps remain.
Stir in the sesame oil to add a slight aroma to the batter.
Prepare a steaming setup: Fill a large pot or wok with about 2-3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle boil. Place a flat, heatproof sheet pan or shallow tray that fits inside the pot to act as a cooking surface. Ensure the tray is slightly greased with neutral oil to prevent sticking.
Pour a thin layer (approximately 1/4 cup) of the rice batter onto the greased tray, tilting the tray to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
Cover the pot or wok with a lid and steam the batter over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, or until the rice roll becomes translucent.
Carefully remove the tray and allow it to cool slightly. Use a silicone spatula to gently lift and roll the steamed rice sheet into a log shape. Repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the tray as needed between batches.
Once all the rice rolls are steamed and prepared, slice them into bite-sized pieces and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve with low-sodium soy sauce on the side, if desired, or drizzle lightly over the rice rolls for added flavor.
