Making your own noodles is easier than you think, and the best part is that you can make them earlier in the day you want to use them and keep them covered in the fridge until it’s time to cook. Rice noodles are gluten free.
1 cup rice flour
1/3 cup tapioca starch
1 tsp sea salt
1¼ cups water, plus extra if needed.
vegetable oil
Place rice flour, tapioca starch and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add ½ cup of water and whisk. Then add another ½ cup water and mix vigorously. Add the final ¼ cup of water and check consistency. It should be the consistency of a thin coconut milk. Rest for 30 minutes.
Grease the bottom of two cake tins with vegetable oil. Check the consistency of the rice mixture again and add 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed. Pour in a thin layer of the rice flour mixture (no more than 2mm) into one of the cake tins. Rest the tin over a saucepan of boiling water and cover with a lid. Steam for 3-4 minutes or until just set. Brush the top of the noodle sheet with oil.
Remove the tin from the heat and slice the noodle sheet into thick strands. Peel noodles out of the cake tin and place onto a greased tray. Repeat until mixture is finished.
Notes:
– These noodles are best made the day you’re using them. Keep them covered in the fridge until ready cook.
