Chewy glutinous rice flour cake with soft, sticky texture is a simple, traditional treat. A family recipe with naturally sweet, fresh flavor.
Combine glutinous rice flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Gradually pour in water while stirring, ensuring a smooth, lump-free batter.
Add vanilla extract and mix well for full flavor distribution.
Pour the batter into a lightly greased 8x8-inch baking dish and smooth the top evenly.
Steam over medium-high heat for 30 minutes, ensuring lid stays tightly on to trap moisture. Cake is done when surface appears set and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 20–30 minutes before slicing with an oiled knife for clean cuts.
