If you are worried about the quality and safety of rice flour made with imported rice, you can make your own rice flour easily.

Don't try to make a lot of rice flour at one time, or it will take a long time to dry out. Just make as much as you need each time.
■If you want to dry it out without using an oven, if you spread it out to dry before you go to bed and leave it overnight, it will be quite dry in the morning.
■If using a frying pan, slowly toast the rice over low heat.
■The rice flour readily absorbs moisture and odours just as rice grains do, so store in a tightly sealed jar or ziplock bags. Recipe by pogue

Ingredients

  1. 180 ml Uncooked white rice

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the rice well, until the water runs clear. Soak in plenty of water for 3 to 4 hours.

  2. 2

    Thoroughly drain off the water. Spread out on a sieve or paper for about 1 hour to dry.

  3. 3

    Spread the rice out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake in a preheated 200°C oven for 10 to 15 minutes until bone-dry. You can toast it in a frying pan instead if you prefer.

  4. 4

    Once the rice is completely dry and crispy, let it fully cool on the baking sheet. When it's cool, if you can crush it easily with your fingers, it's done!

  5. 5

    If you are not using an oven: Leave to dry in a well ventilated location for 1/2 a day to a full day, until you can crush it easily with your fingers.

  6. 6

    When the rice is completely cooled, pulverize it in a food processor, or grind it up in a grinding bowl until it turns into a powder.

  7. 7

    Sift the powder with a sieve. Grind up the remaining coarse bits of rice again in a processor or with a pestle and mortar. This should give you a fine, powdery rice flour!

  8. 8
