Handmade Flat Rice Noodles (板條, 粿條, 河粉) - Gluten free noodles

Step 1

1)Wash 1-1/2 cup rice a couple of times and let dry. Make sure to shake off as much water as possible.

Step 2

2)Soak with 2-1/3 cup water over night.

Step 3

3)Mix rice/water mixture with tapioca flour and process it in the high speed blender for about a minute. Check that the mixture is as smooth as a rice drink. The basic rule is you don’t want grids or hard lumps or the flat rice noodle will be bumpy and not smooth.

Step 4

4)Start your steamer with water, boil it and get ready for steaming.
