Team Recipe: How to Make Rice Cakes

[@jontysarge]

People asking about consistency on longer rides etc. my tip is to roll each one in desiccated coconut after cutting. It will give it a dry outer layer that sticks less and makes them easy to handle even when they’re warm. Other tip is to add salt or electrolyte powder mix if you need more of that on your rides too

[@cmarnold78]

Good tip. I made for the first time yesterday. Were a little sticky on the paper when I got out of my pocket on todays ride. Coconut should fix that up.

[@glensanders3154]

Thanks for posting the video, the rice cakes are great…!! 👍

[@kendaullary4102]

Yes! More of these vids please

[@jaidynwillis7743]

Agreed. Will definitely try them. Also, (asking anyone) what is something extra I could throw in to make it interesting, like nuts or something?

[@kendaullary4102]

Jaidyn Willis I could see a small type of grain like millet or course ground oats or something like that.

[@gtgeorge1814]

@@jaidynwillis7743 Everyone tastes and dietary requirements are different of course. I make something similar with no coconut. I slice them in half and apply a thin lay of peanut butter to one side and raspberry jam to the other, then reassemble and wrap the same. It also depends on you and your level of riding, there are so many variables.

@@jaidynwillis7743 Brown sugar and raisins i could recommend. Bacon not so much.

I've this a lot of times, but they don't get firm the whole ride, is there any trick to make it firm like a normal bar?

[@MrSebar6]

Can u give me the name of the paper you use to cover them???i can't find it like this!

[@tyrantkhan]

It's Parchment Lined Foil

[@damienrstpierre]

How have people gone with freezing these? Still stay together after they have dethawed during the ride?

[@philippebechtold1472]

Yes, i always make a huge batch and then freeze them. They are the same afterwards.

[@maerchkque]

The sugar quantities don’t jive. Caption says 2TB, video says 8TB (2x4). So which is it? 2TB or 4TB for one batch? Thanks!

[@abcxyz00100]

3 tb is ok

[@mwoolner]

I think the caption is for a regular batch while the video they're making a double batch.

[@borisdyakov1962]

If frozen, are they fine to put straight into jersey pockets to defrost while riding? Or do you have an alternate recommendation?

[@philippebechtold1472]

Have done this and i cools you down well on hot days! Although they are not so tasty when not thawed completely.

[@mikesun2908]

In my hometown, we call this lazy cake,. But it is yami😊

[@trodd77]

Goes well with fish.

[@mwoolner]

How long are these good out of the fridge? I'd imagine they would be ok for a few hours for a day ride or whatever, but what about taking them along on a camping trip? Need to keep them cool until ready to eat? Can they be packed in a regular bag and eaten over, say, a weekend without refrigeration if properly stored?

[@harrisonbuck2749]

There’s no dairy, if you were sanitary with packaging you should be fine.

[@jacksonnolen4508]

If I wanted to pack these out on a long ride, or for a long distance race, how long would they be safe out of the fridge? I want to make them but I’d be carrying them in my jersey or bento box for a few hours, is that ok?

[@withfilm]

This looks amazing but is there a reason you don't wash the rice?

[@leventejuhasz2525]

You don't want to wash off the starch that will help stick the rice together.

[@withfilm]

@@leventejuhasz2525 Ah!! Makes total sense now.

[@federikoriterini6177]

where can you find the paper to wrap the portions??? brand???

[@drewdavis7107]

I think it’s by the company skratch

[@seka62]

Any idea about how many calories per serving of cake?

[@Ngswolf]

You can calculate it :)

[@squiresuzuki]

I calculated it. 200 kcal per square and 20g of carbs. That's a baseline; certainly more if you add maple syrup or fruit or whatever.

[@laaneINL]

Good luck the rest of the season! #PinkArgyle

[@sinkitlim8572]

@EF Pro Cycling can I replace creamed coconut with coconut cream instead? Is it the same in nutritional facts and values?

[@inspectorsteve2287]

So these are nothing like the round rice cakes you get in the store?

[@melihsaruhan2462]

How long can these stay out? Like how long do they last on a ride, do they melt or something?

[@jdcalderon5478]

with good air condition and heat, probably 3 hours or more, with heat and sun I think that 2 hours or less

[@robertsamuel1994]

nutritional value? tried to calculate it. or it sucks as cycling fuel, or my calculation is wrong. I guess the latter, so please share what you guys think the nutritional value per 100 gr is :)

[@martins3993]

It's quick carbohydrates. Good for fast fuel.

[@robertsamuel1994]

@@martins3993 have you calculated the nutritional value? That's what I need.

[@martins3993]

@@robertsamuel1994 I have not but it's easy to just google the ingredients, it won't take you more than 5 minutes maximum.

[@robertsamuel1994]

@@martins3993 I find it rather difficult actually. There's the other type of rice cakes that gets all the results. Those light cracker types. I calculate all my types of fuel so I know exactly what to take with me. I have a killer flapjack recipe of which I know exactly how much carbs it packs per 100g. Can you find a link for these types of rice cakes?

[@clarahaueis-robinson6988]

@@robertsamuel1994 Somebody said it was 200 kcal per square and 20g of carbs.

[@Jospabaerze]

Is it possible to just substitute the amount of creamed coconut with additonal water or will they then not keep the shape after cooling?

[@copperpiiiipe]

Is it normal rice?

[@Contagi0us666]

What a waste of plastic by using the ziplock bag only once. Use a sheet pan . It is a shame !

[@akatgif]

said the craby nag 😅

[@pve6041]

Relax there bub

[@Niala8419]

They should use jiffy bags 😭

[@andyinabox]

I thought the same thing ... seems like that would add up to a lot of plastic waste

[@martinazevedo3747]

Not too eco-friendly... wasting so many ziplock plastic bags just for this???

[@davidbarrett4586]

Martin Azevedo it’s less waste than individual gu packets. I’m sure you could figure out a way to do it with parchment paper.

[@xscott902x]

I've made these is a casserole dish and its worked out great they probably use ziplock bags because it takes up less space on the team bus.

[@martinazevedo3747]

@@davidbarrett4586 I bet it's less waste than a ship full of oil sinking in the Mediterranean, my questions is: is there any other way to do it? Using a reusable container maybe? I think it's totally possible =)

[@ericarnold1739]

@@martinazevedo3747 idk man, maybe experiment with it and get back to us? A lot of people use casserole dishes and I am sure you can find a recipe on the internet that doesnt use a ziplock

😂have to say as an asian person who has rice as part of my diet almost daily it looks absolutely not appetising
