Cooking tips
- You can use wheat flour instead, but using sticky rice flour results in a much more chewy and clingy texture after steaming.
- Never mix the peppers with the sauce while they’re still hot—otherwise the sticky rice coating will clump or peel off. Always let them cool for at least 10 minutes until the coating firms up before tossing.
- Adding 1 tablespoon of anchovy fish sauce along with soy sauce enhances the dish’s signature deep umami flavor, making it even more delicious.
