hi,
i tried this recipe and it was successful! i’m so happy kc i really like espasol before i used to order to my neighbor but now after watching you video i can make my own…you’re really big help to us! thank you very much for sharing it to us and keep on cooking other recipes.
I went to Vietnamese and Thai Asian stores in my area and asked them for rice flour and glutinous rice flour. I was told by both stores that they were same.
If rice flour is made of regular rice, can I just put regular rice in a blender and grind the heck out of it till it turns to powder?
hello, thanks for the very informative site….this would be a very good help especially those who are starting a food business like me…Good luck and God Bless!
