Steps

3 hours

1

Soak the rice for 1-2hrs. Rinse out the rice until it's clean. Blend the soaked rice, cooked rice, ginger and onion together until it's smooth and creamy.
2

Pour the batter into a large bowl, add the yeast and mix it together and leave it to proof for some time. The longer you leave it, the more fermented it becomes.
3

Add the sugar, salt, baking powder and little water (the batter shouldn't be too watery or thick). Stir.
4

Drizzle some oil in your masa pan and once the oil is hot enough, pour some batter into the pan about halfway full.
5

When the edges begin to solidify, flip the masa over and cook both sides until golden brown.
6

Remove from heat and enjoy with stew, sauce or yaji. Serve mine with yaji.
