Ingredients

• 100 grams Rice flour
• 20 grams Tapioca starch
• 300 milliliters Water
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (optional, for brushing)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour and tapioca starch. Gradually add water while stirring continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 2

Prepare a steamer set-up by bringing water to a boil in a large pot or a wok. Place the steaming rack inside.

Step 3

Lightly grease a flat-bottomed, heatproof dish or tray with a small amount of vegetable oil, if using, to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Pour a thin layer of the batter into the dish, just enough to barely cover the surface. You can adjust the quantity for thinner or thicker sheets.

Step 5

Carefully place the dish onto the steaming rack. Cover the steamer and steam over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes, or until the rice noodle sheet becomes translucent.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the tray from the steamer and allow it to cool slightly. Use a spatula or knife to gently lift and roll the noodle sheet, starting from one edge to the other.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, ensuring you mix the batter well before pouring to maintain consistency.

Step 8

While waiting for each batch to steam, mix soy sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl for the dipping sauce.

Step 9

Arrange the rolled rice noodle sheets on a plate, drizzle with the sauce, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
