Directions

  1. Thoroughly wash the rice and let it soak in muslin bags for 2 nights.
  2. Once the time has elapsed, rinse thoroughly to remove any lingering odor. ≈ 2 min
  3. Next, grind it into flour and place it in small fabric bags. ≈ 3 min
  4. Hang them up or lay them flat to dry. ≈ 3 min
  5. Once they are slightly damp, place them flat. ≈ 3 min
  6. Add heavy objects to speed up the drying process. ≈ 3 min
  7. Once the flour is dry, grind it into a fine powder.
  8. Add honey and mix well until you achieve a smooth, even consistency. ≈ 4 min
  9. Use your hands to check the texture and quality of the powder. ≈ 3 min
  10. When you see that the powder is smooth and you can spread it without it breaking, you can use it. ≈ 3 min
  11. Taste to ensure that the result is satisfactory. ≈ 2 min
  12. Sprinkle the mixture into a large pan over low heat.
  13. Apply a thin layer of oil paint and beaten egg white.
  14. Once the pan is very hot, pour the mixture into a coconut shell, a specially designed container for sprinkling, or a pot.
  15. Create small holes in the bottom of the container to allow air to circulate. ≈ 3 min
  16. To apply the dough, it should be spread evenly over the entire surface of the pan, in multiple layers, until the desired thickness is achieved.
  17. Once cooked, use a thin spatula to shape the mixture into patties. ≈ 3 min
  18. Place the pancakes on top of each other, making sure they are well separated. ≈ 3 min
  19. Add more portions of dough, making sure to evenly distribute the oil paint and beaten eggs each time. ≈ 3 min
  20. Sticky rice cakes are rich in protein due to the flour, sugar, and egg yolks, and also contain fats. ≈ 3 min
  21. They represent an exceptional skill, achieved by combining sticky rice flour with honey, and then slowly pouring this mixture onto a hot pan containing oil paint.
  22. This allows for the creation of thin and delicate wafers, resembling silk, with a grid-like pattern. ≈ 3 min
