Rice Cake with Red Bean is a delightful low-carb dessert that combines the chewy texture of rice cakes with the sweet, earthy flavors of red bean paste. This dish is not only satisfying but also a healthier alternative to traditional sweets, making it perfect for a light treat.

Ingredients

• Glutinous rice flour - 100 grams
• Water - 150 milliliters
• Red bean paste (unsweetened) - 80 grams

• Coconut oil (for greasing) - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, erythritol, and salt.
2. Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
3. Grease a small steaming dish or pan with coconut oil and pour half of the rice cake batter into it.
