ROASTED RICE POWDER

      Title: ROASTED RICE POWDER - THINH
  Categories: Ethnic, Rice
       Yield: 1 Servings
  
     1/2 c  Raw glutinous rice
  
   Roasted rice powder is used as a flavoring and binding agent in
   various recipes throughout this book. It is necessary to soak the
   rice first in order to obtain a deep golden color after roasting.
   Soaking also makes the rice easier to grind.
   
   Soak the glutinous rice in warm water for 1 hour. Drain.
   
   Place the rice in a small skillet over moderate heat. Toast the rice,
   stirring constantly with chopsticks or a wooden spoon, until deep
   golden brown, about 15 minutes.
   
   Transfer the roasted rice to a spice grinder or blender and process
   to a fine powder (the powder should resemble saw dust). Sift the
   ground rice through a very fine sieve into a bowl. Discard the grainy
   bits. Store the rice powder in a tightly covered jar in your
   refrigerator and use as needed. It will keep for up to 3 months.
   
   Yield: 1 cup.
