Ingredients
- 2 cups sweet rice flour (glutinous rice flour)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup red bean paste (sweetened)
- Food coloring (green, pink, or purple, optional)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, combine the sweet rice flour, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
- 2Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- 3Divide the dough into equal portions (about 1-ounce balls). For each portion, shape into a small disc. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to create different colors, kneading until the color is evenly distributed.
- 4Take a disc of the dough and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a teaspoon of red bean paste in the center and fold the dough over the filling to seal it. Gently shape them into a half-moon or round shape, ensuring the filling is secure inside.
- 5Repeat this process until all dough and filling are used.
- 6Bring a steamer pot to a boil with water. Line the steamer basket with a clean cloth or parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place the rice cakes in the basket, making sure they are spaced apart.
- 7Steam the rice cakes for 20-25 minutes, until they become shiny and slightly translucent.
- 8Let the steamed rice cakes cool for a few minutes. Lightly brush with vegetable oil to prevent them from sticking to each other. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.
