Ingredients

• 1 cup Rice flour
• 0.25 cup Tapioca starch
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Chili oil
• 2 tablespoons Scallions, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour and tapioca starch. Slowly add water while whisking, ensuring there are no lumps. The mixture should be smooth and the consistency of a thin batter.

Step 2

Stir in the vegetable oil and salt, then set the batter aside to rest for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Prepare the steaming setup: boil water in a wok or a large pot and place a steaming rack inside. Ensure you have a flat, heatproof plate or tray that fits inside the wok/pot.

Step 4

Oil the steaming tray lightly, then place it on the steaming rack inside the wok. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the tray, tilting it slightly to spread the batter evenly, forming a thin layer.

Step 5

Cover the wok with a lid and steam the batter for about 5 minutes or until the rice noodle is translucent and lifts easily from the tray.

Step 6

Using a spatula, carefully peel the rice noodle from the tray and place it on a cutting board. Roll it gently into a cylinder. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, re-oiling the tray between batches.

Step 7

For the sauce, in a small bowl mix sesame oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and chili oil until the sugar is dissolved. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 8

To serve, cut the rice noodle rolls into bite-sized pieces. Drizzle with prepared sauce and garnish with chopped scallions.

Step 9

Enjoy your soy-free Chee Cheong Fun immediately for the best texture and flavor.
