Ingredients

Instructions

  • Peel the ripe bananas and break them into small chunks.
  • Add the sugar, water, and banana chunks into the high-speed blender. Blend until well combined.
  • Slowly add rice flour and sweet rice flour to the banana mixture. Stir gently until the mixture forms a smooth batter about a little thicker than the yogurt consistency.
  • Pour batter into a steam-friendly medium bowl and steam for 30 minutes on medium-high heat. The steamed mixture should be like a smooth paste.
  • In the meantime, toast a cup of sweet rice flour in a pan until it turns light brown color. We will use it to dust the prep surface to prevent sticking.
  • Once the steaming is done, let the mixture cool down for 10 minutes. Then set the mixture onto the dusted surface and knead it for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and no longer sticks to your hands. Add a little more cooked sweet rice flour if it's too sticky.
  • Divide the dough into two big equal portions and roll each into a thin, flat rectangle.
  • Roll up each rectangle into a long log shape roll. Cut each log into bite-sized small pieces.
  • Serve and enjoy!
