Rice flour doughneutral and flexible without gluten
Hot water gelatinizes starch and tapioca starch adds flexibility; work while warm.
Directions
- 01
Organize the ingredients
Weigh every ingredient before starting and set out the required tools. Respect the temperatures stated in the ingredient list because they control hydration, elasticity, and fat incorporation.
Texture cue: ingredients weighed, tools ready, and temperatures checked - 02
Mix dry ingredients
Combine rice flour, tapioca starch and salt. Work gradually and pause if the dough resists or becomes too warm. Before moving on, compare its texture, elasticity, and moisture with the visual cue for this stage.

Scald
Add oil and boiling water gradually, stirring into clumps. Work gradually and pause if the dough resists or becomes too warm. Before moving on, compare its texture, elasticity, and moisture with the visual cue for this stage.

Knead warm
Knead until smooth; adjust with drops of water or rice flour. Work gradually and pause if the dough resists or becomes too warm. Before moving on, compare its texture, elasticity, and moisture with the visual cue for this stage.

Roll and cook
Roll between plastic sheets; cook wrappers on a griddle or cut and boil briefly. Work gradually and pause if the dough resists or becomes too warm. Before moving on, compare its texture, elasticity, and moisture with the visual cue for this stage.

The exact point
Warm dough is smooth and flexible with unbroken edges. Crumbling means too little water or heat; gluey dough has too much liquid.
Important information
Work warm
Starch firms as it cools.
Absorption
Brands vary; reserve some water.
Certification
Use gluten-free ingredients and tools.
