​​​​​​​Method:

Mix the rice powder, tapioca starch, and ¼ tsp of salt with cold water and stir well, then pour hot water in and stir again. Soak this mix for 4-6 hours.

Boil the shrimp, peel it and take out its thread, then grind it. Fry the garlic in oil in a pan before placing the ground shrimp over a medium heat until dry.

After 6 hours, stir the wet mix again and scoop it into bowls and steam for a final 10 minutes.

Dipping sauce:

Mix the sugar, fish sauce, and water in a pot and cook until boiled then add minced garlic and chili.
