Chewy, sticky Korean rice cakes (injeolmi) made in the microwave with just a handful of ingredients — dusted in roasted soybean flour and ready in minutes.
Whisk together sweet rice flour, sugar, and salt, then stir in water until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Spread evenly into a lightly greased microwave-safe dish, cover with a vented lid, and microwave for 2 minutes.
Remove and mix the dough thoroughly, then microwave for another 2 minutes and mix again.
Let cool until easy to handle, then turn out onto a surface generously dusted with roasted soybean flour.
Coat the dough, flatten into a rectangle, and cut into bite-size pieces.
Serve with chopped nuts and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

Notes
Make sure to use sweet rice flour (Mochiko), not regular rice flour — the difference in texture is significant. The roasted soybean flour (kinako) does double duty: it keeps the pieces from sticking together and adds a nutty, protein-rich flavor.
