Soeos Glutinous Rice Flour, 16 oz (453g), Pack of 2, Gluten-Free

For homemade mochi, chewy rice cakes or dumpling skins, Soeos Glutinous Rice Flour brings the distinctive elastic texture associated with glutinous rice to both sweet and savoury cooking. This finely ground white rice flour also works in pastries, rice pudding, rice noodles and traditional Asian desserts, making it useful for more than one kind of recipe.

Its mild flavour fits into a dish without taking over, while the flour can also thicken soups, sauces and gravies. That combination makes it practical to keep on hand when a recipe calls for a smooth, sticky texture or a neutral-tasting thickener.

Getting the most from it

Use this flour when texture is part of the point of the dish. In mochi, glutinous rice balls and sticky rice cakes, it helps create the familiar chewy, elastic bite. For dumpling skins and rice noodles, it offers another way to bring that characteristic texture into savoury cooking. It also suits pastries and rice pudding, so one pantry ingredient can serve a range of recipes rather than just a single dessert.

For soups, sauces and gravies, it can be used as a thickener to give the liquid a smooth consistency while keeping the dish’s flavour in focus. Its mild taste is especially useful in recipes where the flour should support the other ingredients rather than add a strong flavour of its own. What are you making: a chewy dessert, a savoury staple or a smoother sauce? This flour is suited to all three kinds of kitchen task.

What you’ll notice day to day

The main difference is the texture it is selected to deliver: smooth, sticky and chewy results in recipes built around glutinous rice flour. That makes it a purposeful choice when the goal is mochi or another traditional Asian treat, rather than simply adding a flour with a neutral flavour to general cooking. Its role as a thickener gives it a separate everyday use in soups, sauces and gravies.

The pack contains two 16 oz (453g) portions, handy for keeping this specialist ingredient ready for baking and cooking. The product is described as all-natural, vegan and gluten-free, and its white rice base suits recipes that call for glutinous rice flour. Use it in the dishes where its texture and mild flavour are an asset, from sweet rice-based treats to savoury preparations.
