- Preparation: 40 min
- Cooking: 40 min
- Makes: 1 serving (150 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free
- Contains: sesame
Ingredients
- 20 g Black sesame seeds
- 100 g Water
- 10 g Rice flour
- 5 g Glutinous rice flour
- 13.5 g Sugar
- 1.7 g Vegetable oil (for the tray)
Method
- Toast the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring, until fragrant and starting to pop. Let them cool.
- Blend the sesame seeds with the water in a blender for 2-3 minutes, until as smooth as you can get it. Whisk in the rice flour, glutinous rice flour and sugar until there are no lumps, and leave the batter to rest for 20 minutes.
- Set a steamer over a high heat and brush a 20 × 30 cm metal tray with a little of the oil. Stir the batter well, as it settles, and pour in a sixth of it, tilting the tray so it covers it in a thin, even layer.
- Steam it for 4-5 minutes, until the sheet is set, glossy and no longer sticky in the middle. Lift the tray out and let it cool for a minute.
- Loosen the edges with a spatula, then roll the sheet up tightly from one long side into a log, peeling it off the tray as you go. Cut the log into 3 rolls.
- Oil the tray again and repeat with the rest of the batter to make 18 rolls. Serve them at room temperature or chilled, cut in half if you like.
- Makes 18 rolls; a serving is three, and the amounts are for one serving, so multiply every ingredient by 6 for the whole batch.
