🍳 Egg & Green Onion Rice Flour Casserole

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 25–30 min

🥚 Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 4 eggs
  • 150 g green onions, finely chopped (about 1½ cups packed)

For the Batter

  • 200 g rice flour (about 1⅔ cups)
  • 30 g cornstarch (about ¼ cup) — gives a smoother texture
  • 450–500 ml water (1.9 to 2 cups), adjust for a thick pourable batter
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • ½ tsp white pepper
  • 1 Tbsp oil (neutral cooking oil)

Optional Add-ins

  • ½ cup shredded carrot
  • ½ cup sautéed mushrooms
  • 1 small chopped chili
  • ½ tsp chicken bouillon powder (for richer flavor)

🔪 Instructions

1. Prep the filling

  1. Crack eggs into a bowl and beat lightly.
  2. Add the chopped green onion to the beaten eggs and mix.
  3. Set aside.

2. Make the rice batter

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine:
    • Rice flour
    • Cornstarch
    • Salt
    • White pepper
  2. Pour in water gradually while stirring until you get a smooth, thick-but-pourable batter (similar to pancake batter).
  3. Add 1 Tbsp oil and mix again.

3. Combine batter and egg-onion mixture

  1. Pour the egg & green onion mixture into the rice batter.
  2. Stir gently to distribute the onions but do not over-beat (to keep texture soft).

4. Prepare pan for steaming

  • Use a 9-inch round pan, glass dish, or square casserole dish.
  • Lightly oil the inside to prevent sticking.

5. Steam the casserole

  1. Bring your steamer to a full boil.
  2. Place the dish inside, cover, and steam 25–30 minutes on medium heat.
  3. Check doneness: the surface should be set and bouncy; a toothpick should come out clean.
  4. Turn off heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.

6. Slice and serve

  • Let cool slightly before slicing into squares or wedges.
  • Serve warm as-is, or with dipping sauces.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Soy sauce + sesame oil
  • Chili crisp
  • Sweet soy + garlic
  • Scallion oil
  • Black vinegar + chili

💡 Tips & Variations

  • More chewy texture: Use 100% rice flour with no cornstarch.
  • Softer/custardy texture: Add 50–100 ml more water.
  • Pan-fried version: After steaming, slice and pan-fry until golden on both sides.
  • Extra savory: Add 1–2 Tbsp finely chopped dried shrimp or cooked bacon bits.
