Ideas And Tips:

• Use short grain rice flour for this recipe. The texture may not result in the same way if you use other types of rice flour.

• You can substitute sesame oil with whatever oil you have available. Mixing oil in water keeps your hands free from the stickiness of the dough.

• If you don’t have a bread machine, you can knead the dough yourself. For safety, wear protective gloves since the dough will be very hot.
