Tips:

  • To make the rice flour, you can either grind uncooked rice in a blender or food processor, or you can buy rice flour from an Asian grocery store.
  • If you don't have a steamer, you can cook the rice cakes in a pot of boiling water. Just make sure to cover the pot and steam the rice cakes for the same amount of time.
  • To make the dipping sauce, you can use any type of vinegar you like. Rice vinegar, white vinegar, or apple cider vinegar are all good options.
  • You can add other vegetables to the rice cakes, such as carrots, peas, or corn.
  • If you want to make the rice cakes ahead of time, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve them, just steam them for a few minutes until they're heated through.
