Ingredient Breakdown for Dasik

What You’ll Need:

1 cup sweet rice flour (chapssalgaru)
1/2 cup honey or syrup
1/4 cup powdered soybean flour (or other flavorings like green tea, black sesame)

You can easily use your favorite sweetener to replace honey. Agave nectar works just as well!
Missing soybean flour? Try powdered ginger or cacao for an unexpected twist!

Let’s Get Cooking!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Mix Time: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the sweet rice flour with 1/4 cup of water until you get a smooth batter. Don’t forget to give it a good stir until it’s vivid and lump-free, about 1-2 minutes.
Sweetness Surge: Add ½ cup of honey or syrup into that smooth batter and mix well. You should smell that sweet aroma wafting up, yum!
Flavor Infusion: If you’re using a flavoring, like powdered soybean flour or green tea powder, now’s the time! Stir it in gently until it’s well incorporated. It should have a lovely earthy scent.
Time to Steam: Prepare a steam pot or a large pot with boiling water. Grease your mold (it can be a cake pan or even muffin tins) and pour the Dasik mixture in. Steam it over boiling water for about 30 minutes, you’ll know it’s done when it’s firm to the touch!
Cool Down: Once steamed, take it out and let it cool completely in the mold. Then, flip it out on a cutting board and slice it into pieces. I usually aim for 1-inch bites that are perfect for snacking!
Dust & Serve: Before serving, dust the pieces with cornstarch. This adds a lovely finish and prevents them from sticking. Trust me; they look too cute to resist!
