- 2 cups of white rice
- 1/2 cup of tapioca starch
- 2 tablespoons of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of salt

Instructions
To make this traditional Vietnamese steamed rice cake dish, first rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Then, add the rice to a pot of boiling water and cook until the rice is tender. Once cooked, drain the rice and set aside to cool.
Next, mix together the tapioca starch and two tablespoons of garlic in a bowl. Then, add the salt and the vegetable oil and stir everything together until it forms a thick paste.
In a separate bowl, mix together the mushrooms, shallots, scallions, dried shrimp, peanuts, and fish sauce. Add the cooked rice to the mixture and mix until everything is well combined.
Grease a 9-inch cake pan with vegetable oil. Spread the rice mixture into the cake pan and spread the tapioca paste on top. Place the cake pan in a steamer and steam for about 45 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through.
Once cooked, let the cake cool for a few minutes before inverting it onto a plate. Slice and serve the steamed rice cake warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
