Notes

This recipe makes 4 rice cakes, which is enough for 1 persons for a training-intensity exercise lasting 2–3 hours. Each rice cake will be 125g.

There is a special method to wrapping the rice cakes which makes them easy to open while exercising. Check this video.

When speading the mixture in the baking dish, look to make a depth of around 20 mm / ¾", so that you end up with evenly sized pieces as close to 50 mm / 2" square as possible. It can be tricky to find the right pan. For a single serve of 4 cakes, we used a small loaf tin; this is much deeper than required, but it has the right shape to generate good-sized cakes.
