ingredients
- 1 cup sweet rice flour (Mochiko)
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup water
- Roasted soybean flour for dusting

directions
dough mixture
Add the dry ingredients (sweet rice flour, sugar, and salt) in a bowl and whisk to distribute. Then pour the water into the dry mixture and stir until blended and there are no lumps.
Lightly grease a microwave-safe dish with vegetable oil. Transfer the mixture and evenly spread across the dish.
cooking & kneading
Cover with a lid that has a steam vent and microwave for two minutes. Remove from the microwave and mix the dough evenly (like kneading).
Place the dish back in the microwave and cook for another two minutes with a lid on. Remove from the microwave and give it another mix. Let sit until cool enough to handle.
shaping & cutting
Generously dust a work surface with roasted soybean flour. Dust the rice cake and flatten into a rectangular shape. Cut into bite-size pieces and serve with honey or syrup.
