Combine 100 grams of glutinous rice flour and 300 grams of rice flour in a bowl.

Pour in 300 grams of room temperature water and stir to form a dough.

Divide the dough into 6 parts and flatten them.

Place a wet cheesecloth in the steamer to prevent sticking.

Place the steamer above a pot filled with boiling water and steam for 20 minutes.

For the second method, soak 100 grams of glutinous rice and 300 grams of jasmine rice overnight.

Drain the soaked rice and blend with just enough water to make a smooth puree (about 3/4 cup).

Pour the rice puree into a fine cheesecloth and squeeze out excess water until solid.

Divide the dough into 6 big chunks, flatten them, and place them in the steamer.

Steam for 25 minutes, then let cool with the lid covered until lukewarm.

Lightly oil a cutting board to prevent sticking and manipulate the dough while warm.

Pound or knead the dough to develop texture until smooth and lump-free.

Divide into 8 even pieces and roll into thin logs.

Cut into long cylinders and serve with sugar, honey, or sweetened condensed milk.
