Greetings friends and welcome to my blog. Today we are making idiyappam (Rice noodles). Join me as we dig in.

In my country there are a couple of steamed noodles available to us. Both those that are local Toni’s and those borrowed from other culture. Here are some to which we actually have access to.

1. Non-fried instant noodles: This is the regular instant noodles we all know that is steamed during production.
2. Sweet potato / starch-based steamed noodles: these are the steamed noodles like the name implies that are made from sweet potatoes.
3. Fresh Asian-style steamed wheat noodles: This Asian noodles that are also adapted here are made from wheat flour.
4. Rice noodles (naturally steamed): This is made from rice flour. Just like the type we did in class.
5. Health-focused or low-fat noodle variants: these are made from materials with low fat and are for health concentrations.

My favorite is instant noodles. It’s very delicious and doesn’t take time to cook, that’s why I love it.

Make the "Idiyappam(Rice Noodles)" or any steamed noodles that are shared in the course, or make them as per your style, with a detailed step-by-step procedure along with images.

To make the idiyappam, these are the ingredient I used.

Ingredients :

Rice flour
Coconut
Salt
Sugar

Procedure

I measured out the rice flour in a bowl plate. Then I proceeded to add a spoon of oil and salt to taste. I also added water to the mixture and began to mix it.

I kneaded the mixture with my hands to form a dough until the whole mixture was thoroughly mix and the dough gave a smooth texture.

I proceeded to put water into a pit and brought it to boil. And I put a clean cloth on a steem cover for steeming the dough.

While the water was on the fire, I had to press out my dough. I didn’t have a gun to use for the press so I had to make an improvise. I used a thick nylon to put the dough inside and then I used a needle and opened holes in the nylon so that the dough can come out through the holes taking the shape of noodles.

After the press it was time to steem the noodles. I put it on fire and covered the oven to steem for about fifteen minutes.

Later I bought out the noodles and put them on a plate. I went ahead to add my grated coconut on the noodles. I also added sugar by spraying it on the noodles and it gave a very rich taste.

My idiyappam was tasty and ready to be eaten.
