Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Noodle Ingredients
  • 1 cup Thai rice flour Use high-quality Thai rice flour for the best texture.
  • 1/2 cup Thai tapioca starch Choose a fine tapioca starch for a smooth consistency.
  • 1 1/2 cups water Use room temperature water to activate the flour and starch better.
  • 1/4 cup neutral flavored vegetable oil Can use canola or grapeseed oil.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Thai rice flour and 1/2 cup of tapioca starch. Stir gently until well mixed.
  2. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of water to the flour mixture. Use a whisk until it forms a soft dough, then knead by hand for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  3. Let your dough rest for about 30 minutes to soften the starches.
  4. While the dough is resting, preheat your steamer. Oil your shallow pans with 1/4 cup of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Cooking
  1. Pour a thin layer of batter into the prepared pan and steam for about 1-2 minutes, or until the top is set.
  2. Carefully peel the noodle out of the pan and set aside to cool.
  3. Repeat steaming the remaining batter in batches, oiling your pan each time.
Finishing Touches
  1. Stack the cooked noodles and cut them into desired widths.
  2. Serve immediately or store for later.

Notes

Make sure not to oversteaming; that can lead to chewy noodles. Store unused noodles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to a month. You can prepare the noodles in advance; reheat with a splash of water in a pan.
