1. Prepare the Dough

Sift MDK Red String Hopper Flour into a large bowl.

The dough should not be dry or sticky—just firm enough to press easily.

Add a small amount of dough into the string hopper press.
Press thin, even circles of dough onto string hopper mats.
Make sure the strands are even for soft texture.

3. Steam the String Hoppers

Place the filled mats into a steamer.
Steam on medium heat for 8–10 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

- Pol Sambol (coconut sambol)
- Kiri Hodi (coconut milk gravy)

- Chicken or mutton curry
- Lunumiris for extra spice

Tips for Perfect Red String Hoppers

Use boiling water, not warm, to achieve a smooth dough.
Avoid over-steaming; this keeps them soft and fluffy.
Add a few drops of oil to the press to prevent sticking.
Always use MDK Red String Hopper Flour for consistent results and authentic red-rice flavour.
