Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Tapioca flour
- 1 cup Rice Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups Water
- Vegetable oil for greasing
Instructions
Prepare the Rice Noodle Batter
- Mix rice flour, tapioca flour, and salt in a bowl.
- Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of water while whisking to create a thinner batter.
- Rest the batter for 15-20 minutes for optimal hydration.
Steam the Noodles
- Grease a heatproof dish or steaming tray to prevent sticking.
- Stir the batter and then spread the batter evenly on the dish/tray
- Place it in a steam over, steamer or wok with water.
Cook the Noodles
- Steam the batter for 4-5 minutes until it becomes a translucent sheet.
- The thinner batter may cook faster. The noodle sheet should be pliable and not dry.
- Getting the right thickness is key – you don’t want them to thin or too thick.
Cut the Noodles
- Once the noodle sheet is cooked, carefully remove it from the steamer and place it on a clean surface.
- Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to cut the noodle sheet into your preferred noodle size. You can make them wide or narrow, depending on your preference.
