1/4 cup potato starch
1/2 teaspoon salt
about 3/4 cup hot water

1

Mix 1/2 cup white rice flour, 1/2 cup sweet rice flour, 1/4 cup potato starch, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl.

2

Add about 3/4 cup of hot water gradually, mixing with a fork until clusters form.

3

Use clean hands to combine the mixture into a solid dough, pressing and squishing it together.

4

If the dough is still too dry, add more hot water until it reaches a Play-Doh-like consistency.

5

Knead the dough for 8 minutes, squishing and rotating it in the bowl.

6

If the dough is too wet after 2 minutes, add 1 tablespoon of rice flour and knead again.

7

Shape the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 30 minutes.

8

After 30 minutes, place the dough on a dry surface and keep it covered to prevent drying out.

9

Shape the dough into a square and cut it into four equal blocks, keeping the unused blocks covered.

10

Roll one block into a fat cigar shape for rice cake soup, and cut into oval pieces.

11

Roll another block out evenly and cut it for spicy rice cakes, pressing down the edges to seal.

12

Make bite-sized pieces by rolling out a block and cutting at an angle.

13

For the last block, roll into small balls and shape the remaining into fat noodles.
