How to Make Cheese Rice Cake

• 1

  Mixing the Dough

  Add 200g of rice flour and 100g of glutinous rice flour into a bowl, then add a little salt (about 1/2 teaspoon) along with 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil. Next, gradually add 300ml of warm water to the flour and use a whisk to mix the flour evenly.

  Tip:

  • Besides using store-bought flour, you can soak sticky rice and glutinous rice for 4 – 5 hours until they swell and soften, then grind the rice and add warm water to knead the dough.
  • Using sesame oil to mix the dough will make the cake tastier. However, if sesame oil is not available, you can use cooking oil as a substitute.

  After mixing the dough, use your hands to knead it well until you see a smooth dough mixture.

  Making the rice cake

  Prepare a cutting board, then wrap the surface of the board with plastic wrap. Next, add 1/4 tablespoon of sesame oil and spread it evenly over the board.

  Place the steamed dough onto the board and use a knife to cut the dough in half. Note, to prevent the dough from sticking to the knife, before cutting, spread 1/4 tablespoon of sesame oil on the knife.

  After pounding, proceed to knead the dough, then roll the dough into long cylindrical shapes of your desired diameter, and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
