Glutinous Rice Triangles

There’s something deeply nostalgic about glutinous rice treats — soft, stretchy, and ever so slightly sweet.

These glutinous rice triangles coated in roasted soybean flour (kinako) have become one of my favorite homemade snacks.

The dough is smooth and bouncy, with just the right amount of chewiness, while the kinako coating adds a nutty, toasty finish that melts into every bite.

Why I Love This Recipe

Only 6 basic ingredients

No oven or fancy tools required

Can be steamed or pan-cooked

Perfectly chewy and soft

Fun to shape, coat, and enjoy

What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Glutinous rice flour – Gives that signature stretch and chewy texture.

Cornstarch – Helps stabilize the dough and makes it more tender.

Sugar – Adds just a hint of sweetness.

Corn oil – Keeps the dough smooth and pliable.

Whole milk – Provides moisture and a rich flavor.

Roasted soybean flour (kinako) – Coats the triangles with a nutty finish.

Pro Tips Before You Start

Use gloves when kneading — it gets sticky!

You can strain the mixture before cooking for extra smooth texture.

Want to skip pan cooking? Steam it like mochi instead.

Dust with cooked glutinous rice flour or cornstarch before shaping to avoid sticking.

Store leftovers in an airtight container, but know they’re best fresh.

How to Make Glutinous Rice Triangles

Step 1. Mix the Dough Base

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, sugar, corn oil, and milk until smooth and lump-free.

Step 2. Optional: Strain the Mixture

Strain through a fine sieve if you’d like a silky-smooth dough.

Step 3. Cook the Dough

Pour the mixture into a non-stick pan.

Set over low heat and stir slowly and continuously.

Cook until the dough pulls together into a single cohesive mass.

Step 4. Cool and Knead

Remove from heat and let the dough cool slightly.

Put on gloves and knead the dough by hand for 5 minutes, stretching and folding until elastic and smooth.

Step 5. Shape the Dough

Roll the dough into a long strip on a surface lightly dusted with cooked glutinous flour.

Cut into small triangular pieces or any shape you like.

Step 6. Coat and Serve

Roll each piece in roasted soybean flour (kinako) until evenly coated.

Enjoy immediately for the best texture.

What to Serve It With

A cup of matcha green tea or hojicha

Fresh sliced mango or strawberries

A small dish of sweetened red bean paste

Lightly sweetened soy milk or oat milk

Variations / Substitutions

Vegan version – Use plant-based milk like oat or soy.

Steam instead of pan-cook – Refer to mango mochi method if preferred.

Change the coating – Use cocoa powder, sesame powder, or powdered sugar.

Add a filling – Try stuffing with sweet red bean or mango purée.

Infuse flavor – Mix in matcha or cocoa powder to the dough for a twist.

Storage & Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.

For longer storage, refrigerate, but texture may firm up — microwave briefly to soften.

Avoid freezing — the texture may turn hard or grainy once thawed.

Re-coat with fresh kinako if it gets absorbed.

FAQs

Can I steam the dough instead of pan-cooking it?
Yes! You can pour the mixture into a heatproof dish and steam for 20–25 minutes until fully set.

What is kinako?
Kinako is roasted soybean flour — it’s nutty, aromatic, and often used in Japanese sweets.

Why is my dough sticky after kneading?
That’s normal! Just dust lightly with cooked glutinous rice flour to manage stickiness while shaping.

Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, swap the whole milk with oat or soy milk.

How do I know when the dough is fully cooked?
It should come together into a thick, elastic mass and no longer look milky or liquid.

Can I flavor the dough?
Definitely — try matcha powder, cocoa, or even fruit purées.

Can I shape these into balls instead of triangles?
Yes, any shape works! Balls, squares, logs — go wild with it.

Final Thoughts

These chewy glutinous rice triangles are a little messy to make, but endlessly satisfying.

I love how customizable they are — soft and warm when freshly made, and still lovely as a chilled treat.

The kinako dusting takes them to the next level, adding a toasted depth that perfectly balances the mild sweetness.

Whether you’re sharing with friends or treating yourself to a cozy afternoon, they’re always worth the effort.
