Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sweet rice flour (also known as glutinous rice flour)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional for added sweetness)
  • Toasted sesame seeds or crushed nuts (optional for garnish)
  • Edible food coloring (optional for variety in colors)

Step-by-Step Guide to Making the Carrot Cake

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet rice flour, salt, and sugar (if using). Gradually pour in the warm water, stirring continuously until a dough forms. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky but not too wet. Adjust with a little more water or rice flour as needed for the right consistency.
  2. Knead the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for about 5 minutes. This will help the dough become elastic and easier to shape.
  3. Shape the Cakes: Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a ball or shape of your choice. Traditional rice cakes are often small, round, or slightly flattened for even cooking. If you’d like to add colors, divide the dough into sections, and knead in a tiny drop of food coloring.
  4. Steam the Rice Cakes: Arrange the rice cakes on a steaming tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Steam the rice cakes over medium heat for about 20–25 minutes, or until they become soft, chewy, and cooked through.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the rice cakes to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or crushed nuts for extra flavor and a bit of crunch.
  6. Enjoy: Serve these rice cakes warm for a soft texture, or let them cool for a firmer bite. They’re great as a snack or dessert.
