Bánh Bột Nếp Chiên is a delightful Vietnamese snack made from glutinous rice flour, giving it a chewy texture that contrasts beautifully with its crispy exterior. Perfect as a tea-time treat or a savory street food option, this dairy-free dish is both satisfying and flavorful.

Ingredients

• Glutinous rice flour - 150 grams
• Water - 120 ml
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Shallots - 2, finely chopped
• Green onions - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, water, salt, and sugar. Mix until smooth and there are no lumps.
2. Add the finely chopped shallots and green onions to the mixture, stirring well to incorporate.
3. Pour the batter into a lightly greased shallow dish or pan, spreading it evenly.
