Step 1

Wash the rice. Put it in a bowl of water and scrub it by hand for a full 10 seconds. Rinse, stir, and drain. Repeat until the water drains clear.Soak in clean water overnight, or for 8 to 12 hours.Strain the rice. It should have expanded to about 3½ cups’ worth.Grind the rice finely with a coffee grinder or food processor.Sift the ground rice flour into a bowl. If any rice pieces are too big to sift, grind them again until they can be sifted.You’ll end up with about 4 cups of rice flour. Use it right away, or put it in a plastic bag and in the freezer until you need it.

And not wash it till it is perfectly clear? tilted-sun UK joined 12/20 & has 1 commentPosted December 27th, 2020 at 6:43 am | Log in to reply. Little late of a response but the water will still be cloudy but should be translucent so you can see the grains through it. Hope it helps Alia Rivera North Carolina joined 7/20 & has 1 commentPosted July 12th, 2020 at 1:25 pm | Log in to reply. I made the rice flour with medium grain rice.

If you’re still wondering, no need to dry the flour. This type comes moist, therefore, if it’s store bought it’s always frozen and if you do it yourself, make sure to store in freezer for any that’s not used.

However I’m using the flour to make songpyeon and I do add hot water form a dough. But the dough I have make it become hardly to hold for a shape (trying to create a full moon shape for songpyeon or cute pumpkin shape) and become too soft and seem like melt when I’m steam it. May I know that is that because I have added too much water for it ? David63 Cornwall joined 12/18 & has 1 commentPosted December 24th, 2018 at 2:38 am | Log in to reply.

Hi maangchi. Do we have to dry the rice after straining the water? Maangchi New York City joined 8/08 & has 12,051 commentsPosted June 15th, 2020 at 10:30 am | Log in to reply. No need to dry it out. Just remove excess water as much as you can and grind it.
