Instructions

DIPPING SAUCE

  1. Place a small saucepan over low-medium heat and combine white sugar, dark soy sauce, white vinegar, and water. Simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring continuously. Add chopped chilies and continue to stir for an additional minute.

GUI CHAI TOD

  1. Take finely chopped garlic chives and place them in a mixing bowl. Add baking soda, two tablespoons of oil, salt, white sugar, and white pepper. Knead the mixture until it’s combined, and the sugar has fully dissolved.
  2. In a different bowl, blend rice flour with tapioca flour. Then, while mixing steadily, slowly pour in warm water to create a smooth batter.
  3. Combine the chopped garlic chives with your batter, using your hands to mix.
  4. Prepare your baking mold by brushing it with the remaining tablespoon of oil.
  5. Transfer the batter into the oiled mold.
  6. Steam the filled mold for 20–30 minutes over medium heat. The batter should be set and firm once done.
  7. Allow the steamed pancake to cool before removing it from the mold and placing it on a cutting board.
  8. Cut your steamed garlic chive pancake into desired portions.
  9. Lightly dust each piece of pancake with tapioca flour on all sides before frying it.
  10. Heat oil in a wok or deep-frying pan over medium heat. Fry the pancake pieces until golden brown, then remove and drain any excess oil on paper towels before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • I don't recommend storing gui chai tod after deep-frying. The best method is to store them after steaming.
