Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, stir together the 1 cup glutinous rice flour, 0.75 cup water, and 0.25 teaspoon salt until a thick batter forms.
Step 2
Cover the bowl with a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir, then microwave for another 1-2 minutes until the dough is translucent and no longer sticky to the touch.
Step 3
While the rice cake cooks, grind the 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds with the 1 tablespoon sugar in a small food processor or with a mortar and pestle until powdery.
Step 4
Turn the hot rice cake out onto a cutting board dusted with some of the sesame-sugar powder. Let it cool just enough to handle, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Cut the rice cake into bite-sized pieces and toss each piece in the remaining sesame-sugar powder until fully coated. Serve warm or at room temperature.
