- 1 cup glutinous rice flour
- ¾ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions

In a microwave-safe bowl, stir together the 1 cup glutinous rice flour, 0.75 cup water, and 0.25 teaspoon salt until a thick batter forms.

Cover the bowl with a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir, then microwave for another 1-2 minutes until the dough is translucent and no longer sticky to the touch.

While the rice cake cooks, grind the 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds with the 1 tablespoon sugar in a small food processor or with a mortar and pestle until powdery.

Turn the hot rice cake out onto a cutting board dusted with some of the sesame-sugar powder. Let it cool just enough to handle, about 2 minutes.

Cut the rice cake into bite-sized pieces and toss each piece in the remaining sesame-sugar powder until fully coated. Serve warm or at room temperature.
