Delicious Hopper Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon of dehydrated baker’s yeast
- 250 ml of coconut water (I used fresh coconut water)
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 500g of rice flour
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 750 ml of coconut milk
Preparation
To make hoppers, you mix rice flour, coconut milk, yeast, and sugar and let it ferment overnight. To enhance the effect, chefs sometimes add a little bit of carbonated water. Instant hopper mixes are now available in supermarkets. You pour it into a hopper bowl and cook on fire until golden color.
A chopped egg for the hopper is even more amazing. As you begin to cook, you crack an egg over it and cover the pan. In a few minutes, you have a delicious hopper with a delicious egg on the bottom. The popular breakfast is served by upscale restaurants and street vendors.
