Reverse-Seared Ribeye with Weeping Tiger Dipping Sauce Recipe

1. Step 1

   If making your own toasted rice powder, toast the glutinous rice over a low heat until it turns evenly brown, tossing frequently. This will take about 15 minutes, but can take up to 30 minutes depending on your pan. Take care not to burn it as this will make the rice powder bitter | Ingredients: 2 tbsp of Thai glutinous rice
