Method

  1. 1

    Whisk the rice flour, salt, sugar and water in a heatproof bowl until smooth and runny. Cover the bowl with a plate or baking parchment.

  2. 2

    Set the bowl in a steamer over boiling water and steam for 25 minutes. Stir halfway with a wet spoon. The dough is ready when it looks translucent and glossy and is very sticky.

    25 min
  3. 3

    Mix the soybean powder with the coating sugar and pinch of salt, then scatter half over a clean board.

  4. 4

    Tip the hot rice dough onto the powder. Wet or oil your hands and spoon, then fold and stretch the dough 20 times until smooth and elastic. It is very hot, so work quickly with a spoon first.

  5. 5

    Pat it out to 2 cm thick, brush with the oil, then cut into 3 cm pieces with oiled scissors or a knife.

  6. 6

    Roll the pieces in the rest of the soybean powder. Eat the same day while soft.
