Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice Flour
- 2 tablespoons Tapioca Starch
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 teaspoons Vegetable Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 1 tablespoon Spring Onions (Green Onions), chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Coriander (Cilantro), chopped
- 2 tablespoons Dried Shrimp (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca starch, and salt.
Gradually add water to the dry mixture while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Ensure the batter is smooth.
Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil into the batter and mix well. Set aside.
If using dried shrimp, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, drain, and set aside.
Lightly grease a flat baking tray or shallow plate that fits inside your steamer with the remaining vegetable oil.
Bring water to a boil in your steamer.
Pour a thin layer of the batter onto the greased tray. Optionally, sprinkle a few soaked dried shrimp on top.
Place the tray into the steamer, cover, and steam for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the rice roll turns translucent.
Remove the tray from the steamer and let it cool slightly before using a spatula to carefully roll up the rice roll.
Repeat the steaming and rolling process with the remaining batter.
Mix soy sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl to create the serving sauce.
Serve the rice rolls drizzled with the soy sauce mixture and topped with chopped spring onions and coriander.
