- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 25 min
- Makes: 1 serving (243 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
- Contains: gluten, mustard, soy
Ingredients
- 70 g Rice, glutinous
- 90 g Water
- 20 g Carrots, raw
- 20 g Cucumber, raw
- 15 g Mustard greens, pickled
- 10 g Soybeans, dried
- 5 g Cilantro, fresh
- 8 g Vegetable oil
- 1 g Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 g Salt
- 3 g Soy sauce
Method
- Rinse the glutinous rice, then simmer or steam it in the water until fully tender and sticky, about 20 minutes.
- While still hot, pound or mash the rice firmly with a pestle or the back of a spoon until it turns into a smooth, stretchy paste, then press it out on an oiled surface into a thin, even round sheet; let cool slightly.
- Shallow-fry the dried soybeans in the oil until golden and crunchy, then drain; stir the cayenne pepper into a spoonful of the hot oil to make a simple chili oil.
- Julienne the carrot and cucumber and lay them across the rice sheet with the pickled mustard greens, cilantro and crispy soybeans.
- Drizzle over the soy sauce, chili oil and the salt, then roll the rice sheet up firmly around the filling, in the shape of a swaddled baby if you like.
- Slice in half to serve, so the colourful vegetable filling shows at the cut ends.
