Grilled Rice (Skewers) With Dipping Sauce

Submitted by Jubes

"This is a kebab/skewer style dish from SouthEast Asia. It's gluten free and made from glutinous short-grain rice. A great appetizer. For a gluten free diet-check all ingredients are labelled as GF (fish sauce can contain wheat/gluten). Can be cooked on a barbecue plate that has been lined with aluminium foil and sprayed with cooking oil"

These were good, but I did have some problems with them. I mainly wanted to see how they compared with my usual form of grilled riceballs, so this rating is not for the dipping sauce. I had a hard time making the flat round shapes you describe from such small amounts of rice and an even harder time skewering them. After two skewers, I just made disk shaped riceballs and dunked them. This worked much better for me. The flavor was good, and the egg mixture made for an interesting crust on these. They were GREAT for dipping!
