    So I cannot use ordinary Rice Flour to make the Rainbow Rice Cake? I cannot find this flour here in Singapore and since I do not know the difference in taste, I would not know the difference would I?

    i bought frozen rice flour at a korean grocery, but in the video, you said that your rice flour already had salt in it. how much salt would we have to put if our frozen rice flour has no salt?

      As long as you got the right ingredient from a Korean grocery store, it will be ok. Follow the recipe whatever you make. I used this package of frozen rice flour for songpyeon and mujigaeddeok recipes so far.

      She didn’t say her rice flour had already been “salted,” she said her rice flour had already been “soaked.” That is because if you want to make rice cakes, traditionally Koreans will take sweet rice, soak it in water, and then grind it to make their own flour. Buying the frozen rice flour eliminates those tedious steps.

    Hi Maangchi,

    I can’t find any frozen rice flour here in Calgary, can I use regular rice flour?

    Yes, mugwort has some flavor like herb and it gives good green color.
    Check the description about this ingredient”what recipes use this?” on this page.

    Hello Maangchi

    Are you saying that regular white rice flout cannot be used? What is the type of flour in the frozen rice flour if it is not a sticky rice?

    Why is soaking rice first for more than 10 hours and drain water and grind it finely using a coffee grinder comparable to frozen flout instead of white rice flour?

    I am amazed sticky or glutinous rice (eg Mochiko) is not used…as this sticks together without any gluten as in wheat flour.

    Also was it the mugwort that made the green ones green, and does the mugwort add flavor or just color?

    Thank you for this wonderful video

    Marie,
    Do you really want to make “songpyeon” rice cake? It will take long time!
    Anyway, if you want,I recommend soaking your rice first for more than 10 hours and drain water and grind it finely using a coffee grinder.
