Steps

30 minutes

1

Wash the rice a couple of times until the water runs clear. Then soak it in water for at least 6 hours or overnight. This will help soften the rice, making it easier to blend.
2

In a small bowl, mix the active dry yeast, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and 1/4 cup of warm water. Set aside for about 10 minutes or until the mixture becomes frothy.
3

Drain the soaked rice and transfer it to a blender. Add the cooked rice, onion, ginger, and 1/2 cup of warm water. Blend until you achieve a smooth batter.
4

Pour the blended rice mixture into a large bowl and add the frothy yeast mixture, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and allow the batter to ferment in a warm place for at least 2 hours.
5

Stir the fermented batter until well combined
6

Add about a quarter teaspoon of oil inside each hole of the masa pan and preheat it over medium heat. You can also use a non-stick pan if you don't have masa pan.
7

Scoop the batter into the preheated pan, filling each hole about two-thirds full. Cook the masa for 2-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
8

Serve warm with a spicy pepper sauce, such as Yaji, or a savory soup, like Miyan Taushe. You can also go sweet with honey, maple, or powdered sugar.
