Ingredients
No main ingredients listed.
Batter
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 2 tbsp potato starch
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 cups water
- 1 tbsp vegetable cooking oil
Sweet Soy Sauce
- 6 tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
Shrimp Filling
- shrimp, to taste
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- garlic powder, to taste
- cornstarch, to taste
Instructions
- 1Combine rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, salt, 4 cups water, and 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a bowl; whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- 2Cover the batter and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- 3Bring a steamer to a full boil. While the water is heating, lightly brush a non‑stick pan with a little oil and place it in the steamer to preheat for about 1 minute.
- 4Stir the rested batter gently, then pour a thin layer onto the hot pan—just enough to cover the surface without being too thick.
- 5Cover the steamer and steam the batter until bubbles form and the sheet is set, about 3–4 minutes.
- 6Remove the pan from the steamer and allow the rice sheet to cool for 2–3 minutes so it can be handled without tearing.
- 7Using a spatula, lift the sheet halfway, place a portion of seasoned shrimp along the center, then roll the sheet the rest of the way to enclose the filling. Repeat with additional pans as needed, steaming the next sheet while the previous one cools.
- 8For the sweet soy sauce, combine 6 tbsp light soy sauce, 2 tbsp water, and 3 tbsp brown sugar in a small saucepan; heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, then taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
- 9Season the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a light dusting of cornstarch. Place the seasoned shrimp in the steamer and cook on high for 3–5 minutes, or until opaque and firm, being careful not to overcook.
