Step 1

Wash and dry the leeks after buying them. Whether making dumplings or making kueh, the leeks must be dried, otherwise they will be difficult to wrap if they are moist. Chaoshan Snacks - Illustration of how to make rice-free rice cakes 2

Step 2

Cut off some of the leek head and finely chop the rest. Chaoshan Snacks-Illustration of how to make rice-free rice cake 3

Step 3

Prepare a dried radish, wash it and cut it into dried radish paste. Rinse the shrimp skin slightly. Leeks are the most avoidable addition of salt, because adding salt to any vegetable will remove the water. No salt is added here, and the saltiness of dried radish and dried shrimps is used instead of salt. If you don’t like dried radish, you can just add dried shrimps or dried shrimps.

Step 4

Mix two or three ingredients together and stir evenly with chopsticks. Add some edible alkali (to keep the leeks green and not yellow), chicken essence, and appropriate amount of oil. It would be better if there is lard, and the heated lard will be more fragrant. If lard is not available, use cooking oil. Chaoshan snacks-Illustration of how to make rice-free rice cake 5

Step 5

Prepare 400 grams of sweet potato flour (because the sweet potato flour you dry yourself is granular and needs to be crushed in advance. It is better to sift it). Because I omitted some steps when making it myself, I didn’t take pictures. You can directly heat the water to scald the noodles, or use the skin-rinsing method. Today I will use the skin-rinsing method. Chaoshan Snacks-Illustrated recipe of rice-free rice cake 6

Step 6

The advantage of using a non-stick pan is that you can clean the pan by kneading the dough. Add dry sweet potato flour to the pan and knead the washed sweet potato dough into a soft dough. Add appropriate amount of oil along the way, knead the oil into the dough, and knead until the surface is smooth. Wrap in a bag to prevent drying.

Step 7

Grab a small piece and flatten it with a rolling pin, or shape it into a bowl. Roll it out as thinly as you can. This time the kneading time is relatively short, so it feels like the skin will break easily. So the skin is thicker. Like a bun, it's as tight as a tiger's mouthThat’s it.

Step 8

You can get closer, but it's a bit difficult to maintain this speed. Boil appropriate amount of water in a large pot. Chaoshan Snacks - Illustration of how to make rice-free rice cake 9

Step 9

After the water boils, put it into the pot and steam over high heat for about 10 minutes. The steaming time depends on the size of the rice cake. Chaoshan SmallEat-Illustration of how to make rice-free rice cakes 10

Step 10

This time it was considered a success and the skin would not explode. The sweet potato flour dried by farmers is darker in color, so the color of the rice-free rice cake skin is also darker. Chaoshan Snacks-Illustrated recipe of rice-free rice cake 11

Step 11

2 pounds of leeks and 400 grams of sweet potato flour make just 46 pieces. You can eat it directly after boiling it. If you like it more fragrant, you can fry it in the pan. Chaoshan Snacks-Illustrated recipe of rice-free rice cake 12
