  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine rice flour and water to create a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps!
  2. Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour a ladle of the batter to form a pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  3. Step 3: In a separate saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, and dashi broth. Bring to a simmer and set aside.
