Ingredients

• 1 cup Rice flour
• 1 tablespoon Tapioca starch (or corn starch for a healthier alternative)
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 cup Carrots (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Scallions (finely chopped)
• 0.5 cup Cooked mushrooms (diced)
• 1 tablespoon Cilantro (chopped, optional)
• 1 teaspoon Cooking spray or neutral oil

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour and tapioca starch. Gradually add water while stirring until the mixture forms a smooth, thin batter. Ensure there are no lumps.

Step 2

Prepare your fillings by shredding the carrots, dicing the cooked mushrooms, and chopping scallions and optional cilantro.

Step 3

Lightly grease a flat, shallow heatproof pan (like a small cake or pie pan) with cooking spray or neutral oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Fill a wide pot or wok with about 1 inch of water and place a steam rack or trivet inside. Bring the water to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Pour a thin layer of the batter (just enough to cover the bottom) into the greased pan. Scatter a small amount of the prepared filling evenly over the batter layer.

Step 6

Carefully place the pan onto the steam rack inside the pot or wok, cover with a lid, and steam on medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until the rice roll is set and slightly translucent.

Step 7

Using a spatula, gently loosen the edge of the steamed rice sheet. Carefully roll it up into a cylinder, folding in the filling as you go, and transfer to a plate.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining batter and filling, greasing the pan lightly between uses if needed.

Step 9

For the sauce, combine low-sodium soy sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl. Drizzle over the rice rolls or serve on the side for dipping.

Step 10

Garnish with additional scallions and cilantro, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy steamed rice rolls!
