Instructions

Step 1

Mix Flour: In a bowl, combine 2 cups of glutinous rice flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and ½ teaspoon of salt.

Step 2

Add Water: Slowly pour in 1 ¼ cups of water, mixing gradually. Adjust the water for the right consistency.

Step 3

Prepare for Steaming: Line a bowl with parchment paper and oil it lightly. Spread the dough evenly for uniform cooking.

Step 4

Steam: Once your steamer is boiling, steam the dough for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Prepare Coating: Trim the edges off the Castella cake. Grind it finely, either plain or mixed with matcha powder for a green coating.

Step 6

Knead Cooked Dough: Post-steaming, transfer the dough to an oiled parchment paper. Knead it carefully; it's hot! Use gloves for safety.

Step 7

Coating: Cut the dough in half. Roll each half in the Castella cake coating, then cut into bite-sized pieces. Matcha Coating: Follow the same process for the matcha-coated pieces.
