Recipe: Jianbing Batter
Share
Ingredients
- 1 c. Ivory White Lentils
- 1 qt. Water (for soaking lentils)
- 10 oz. Water (to purée lentils)
- 3 c. Rice Flour, sifted
- 14 oz. Water
Recipe Preparation
- Wash the lentils under cold water.
- Soak the lentils in the water for 6 hours at room temperature.
- Drain the lentils and rinse to remove starchy residue.
- Pulse purée the lentils in a vitamix blender or equivalent.
- Create a smooth, thick batter by streaming in cold water (about 10 oz.) with the blender on high.
- Whisk together the lentil purée and sifted rice flour in a large stainless steel bowl.
- Add the remaining water (14 oz.) and whisk until smooth.
- Ferment the mixture in a non-reactive storage container about twice the volume of the batter. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature overnight. NOTE: The batter isn’t ready until there are noticeable air bubbles throughout the batter. This could take two days (or warmer air temperature).
- Refrigerate the fermented batter until needed for service.
