Ingredients

  • 35 g Rice flour

Method

  1. Mix the rice flour with about 30 g boiling water, stirring quickly into a rough dough, then knead until smooth once cool enough to handle.
  2. Steam the dough for 15 minutes until translucent, then knead again briefly while hot.
  3. Roll the dough out very thinly and cut into small rounds.
  4. Dry the rounds uncovered at room temperature for a few hours, or in a very low oven, until firm to the touch.

  6. Mix the soy sauce and sugar and brush it over the hot crackers, then return to the heat briefly to dry the glaze before serving.
