The amount of water is important for rice flour. When using commercial rice flour, it is important to check whether it is wet or dry rice powder. You also have to check if there's salt in it or not. I used wet rice powder with salt.

You can check the condition of the rice flour by squeezing it with your hands before adding water. Even if the rice powder is wet, moisture can evaporate, so it is good to squeeze the rice powder by hand and control the amount of water. It becomes a lump when you hold it with your hand and let it go, and if it doesn't break when it bounces on your hand, the water is just right. If it breaks without clumping like this, add a little more water and mix well.

But it doesn't clump together because it's too watery, but when you mash it with your hands, you have to mash it right away with powder. If you check these two things, it will be easy to match the water.

The most important thing in making Baekseolgi is constitution. The more you put it on a sieve, the more chewy it becomes. The finer the rice powder. I dropped it off only twice. If you have time, you can get off three times.

The rice flour didn't clump together and fell down smoothly.

I used 14 cups of rice flour. Add 1T of salt per 10 cups of rice flour. There are owners who add salt when grinding rice flour in the mill. Please check it out and add salt. Add 1T of sugar per cup of rice flour. When I first made Baekseolgi, I remember being surprised because there was more sugar than I thought. Since there are 14 cups of rice flour, I added 14T of sugar.

And mix well with your hands.

You can make Baekseolgi using only rice flour. I'm going to make honey white rice cake with brown sugar between rice cakes. I had chestnuts at home, so I put them in together.

Mash a cup of chestnuts by hand, add 100g of brown sugar and mix well.

Prepare a steamer. You can use the regular steamer at home, but if the steam is strong, it may be undercooked. But it's okay. Place a silicon rug under the steamer. It's a little small, so I added parchment paper.

Add 7 cups, which is half of the total rice powder prepared.

Use a scraper to level the top.

Add brown sugar and chestnut mixture evenly on top.

Place the remaining 7 cups of rice flour on top.

Spread the top evenly again using a scraper. I never press the rice flour. Just a little flat, please.

If you add only non-glutinous rice powder with water, sugar, and salt, it becomes a white white rice cake. You can steam it like this. The shape of the rice flour is steamed differently depending on the mold. I used a circular steamer, and if you put a square mousse mold in the circular steamer, you can make a square white rice cake.

After steaming the rice cake, you can cut it with a knife. If you cut steamed rice cakes, the surface doesn't come out smoothly. So it's good to draw a line with a knife. First, draw a line on the top to cut it with a scraper.

Then, make a knife and cut it to the bottom. Then you don't have to cut it separately after steaming it later. I put chestnuts in the middle, so the rice powder got a little messy when I cut it. The rice flour doesn't get messy like this when you use only the rice flour to win the baekseolgi.

It's good to use a bamboo steamer when steaming rice cakes. I use a stainless steel steamer. It doesn't matter if you use a steamer that you normally use at home. However, if the lid is a glass container like me, water droplets may fall on the rice cake, so be careful.

If a drop of water falls on the rice cake, it can become a tough rice cake and its shape changes. So it's better to wet the cotton cloth and cover the lid.

Cover with cotton cloth.

Put enough water and boil it beforehand.

When the water boils, put a steamer on it, steam it over high heat for 20 minutes, and let it boil for 5 minutes.

Then you can meet steamed baekseolgi.

Place the cutting board on the steamer and turn it over to take out the rice cake.

Remove the silicone rug from the bottom and cool it down for a while.

Then you can see that the cut is slightly open. You don't need to cut it separately.

If you flip the pieces over, you can see a smooth white snow machine. If you don't put brown sugar inside, you can make regular white rice cake, and if you add brown sugar, you can make honey white rice cake. Also, if you mix beans with rice flour, it becomes bean seolgi. If you steam sweet pumpkin and mix it down, it becomes sweet potato seolgi. If you steam sweet potato and mix it down, it becomes sweet potato seolgi.
