Ingredients
- 50 g Rice flour
- 30 g Sugar, brown
- 120 g Water

Method
- Whisk the rice flour with the brown sugar, water and baking soda (standing in for the traditional lye water) until completely smooth with no lumps.
- Pour the batter into small oiled cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Steam over boiling water for 25-30 minutes, until the cakes turn a deep amber, translucent and firm with a slightly springy, chewy texture.
