Tips:

  • To make the red bean paste, you can use dried or canned red beans. If using dried beans, soak them overnight before cooking. You can also use a food processor or blender to puree the beans until smooth.
  • If you don't have glutinous rice flour, you can use a combination of regular rice flour and tapioca flour. The ratio is 2 parts rice flour to 1 part tapioca flour.
  • The rice cakes can be fried or steamed. If you are frying them, heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the rice cakes. Fry them for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • If you are steaming the rice cakes, place them in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Steam them for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Serve the rice cakes warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include sweet soy sauce, hoisin sauce, or chili sauce.
