Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using watercress leaves will make the rice cake sticky, so only use the stem (thick part) for a crisp, grainy texture.
  • Use dry glutinous rice flour instead of wet, and adjust moisture with a spray bottle to prevent clumping and maintain texture.
  • Poke multiple holes into the dough on the steamer with a wooden spoon to allow steam to circulate evenly and cook through completely.
  • If cranberries are unavailable, dried currants can be used as a substitute.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy the fresh fragrance of spring watercress in a rice cake or special snack.
  • People who appreciate the rich, clean taste of perilla seed powder and glutinous rice flour.
  • Parents looking to make thoughtful, healthy snacks for family members at home.
