How to make Fresh Rice Flour for Songpyeon (Mepssalgaru for Tteok)
Ingredients
- Rice2 cups
- Salt¼ tsp
- Water for soaking5 cups
Instructions
- Soak the short grain rice in 5 cups of water for at least 5 hours.
- Drain the soaked rice for at least 30 minutes, until no water pools remain in the colander.
- Put about half of the soaked rice and 1/8 tsp salt into a blender. Blend on high speed for at least 3 minutes in total, pausing 2-3 times to scrape down the sides.
- Check the powder: it is fine enough when it turns pasty when rubbed between the fingers. A slight grittiness is fine.
- Sift the powder through a large sieve to remove any large unground pieces.
- Store the rice powder in the fridge for up to 2 days, or in the freezer for a few months.
