Method

  1. 1 Mix the rice flour with water to form a thin paste, season with salt and a little sugar, then let it rest for 20 minutes.
  2. 2 Mix the roasted black sesame seeds into the flour, stirring well to distribute the seeds evenly.
  3. 3 Spread the batter very thinly on a steam-strewn cloth, cover and cook for 30 seconds until done.
  4. 4 Remove the cakes from the bamboo rack and dry them in the sun until they are completely dry and curled up.
  5. 5 Grill the cakes over charcoal, turning them frequently until they puff up evenly and turn golden brown and crispy.

With an appliance

  • Oven 58 min

    Change step 5: Place the rice paper on a rack in the oven at 230 degrees for 5 minutes, flip and rotate the tray after 3 minutes; the rice paper will puff up evenly, without needing to be pressed against the charcoal, but it will lack a smoky flavor.
