Sweet Coke Rice Cakes

These rice cakes get their sweetness from the addition of Coca-Cola. It may sound strange, but the sugar and carbonation in the soda creates a unique flavor that pairs well with the glutinous texture of the rice cake.

Ingredients

• 1 cup sweet rice flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup Coca-Cola
• 1/4 cup water
• Cooking spray

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, add sweet rice flour and sugar, and stir to combine.
2. Slowly pour in Coca-Cola and water, stirring constantly, until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
3. Spray a silicone rice cake mold with cooking spray, and pour batter in until each mold is about 2/3 full.
4. Fill a pot with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil.
5. Steam rice cakes for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
6. Allow the rice cakes to cool slightly before removing them from the mold, and serve warm or at room temperature.

These rice cakes will have a chewy, mochi-like texture with a lightly sweet flavor from the Coca-Cola. If you're feeling adventurous, try experimenting with different types of soda to see what unique flavors you can come up with. Enjoy!
