Korean Injeolmi Rice Cake Dessert

Ingredients:
Sweet rice flour (glutinous rice flour), salt, sugar, roasted soybean powder (and mugwort powder for ssuk injeolmi)
Directions:
1. Place 1 cup of sweet rice flour, ¼ ts salt, 1 tbs sugar, and ¾ cup of water in a microwavable bowl. Mix it well to make rice cake dough.

2. Cover it with Saran wrap, and cook it in a microwave oven for 3 minutes.
3. Mix the hot dough with a wooden spoon for about 20 seconds. Put the Saran wrap back on and cook 1 more minute in the microwave.
4. Transfer the rice cake dough into a mortar and pound it for about 1 minute (pound 50 times). You'll make bubbles and then hear the bubbles popping out while you pound, which mean the consistency of the rice cake is just right: chewy and elastic.
*tip: Put a little cold water on your hands when you want to touch the dough so that it won't stick to your fingers and will keep you from burning yourself.

5. Spread 1/2 cup roasted soybean powder on the cutting board and transfer the pounded rice cake over the soy bean powder on the cutting board so that the rice cake would stick to the cutting board.
6. Cut into bite size pieces.
7. Coat each piece of the rice cake with the roasted soy bean powder and transfer to a serving plate
Sprinkle with sugar when you serve.
Ssuk injeolmi
Same directions as above, and add 1 tbs ssukgaru (mugwort powder) and 1 tbs water to the dough water you mix it.
