Qu'est-ce que le/la/l'Sweet Rice Flour ?
Sweet rice flour, also known as glutinous rice flour or mochiko, is a fine powder made from short-grain glutinous rice. Despite its name, it contains no gluten and is not sweet; the term "glutinous" refers to its sticky, glue-like texture when cooked. It is a fundamental ingredient in many Asian cuisines, especially for confections and savory thickeners.
"The secret to sweet rice flour's unparalleled chewiness lies in its high amylopectin starch content, which gelatinizes readily to create a distinctively elastic texture."
