You will notice the technique is different than what you usually see in a dim sum house, due to they use a cloth as a tray and the steam can penetrate directly which does not require the greasing-the-tray-step. Due to oil on the tray, the rice batter is much difficult to stay put hence the differences in technique.
Ratio wise for rice batter is 2 (water) : 1 (rice flour)
I added tapioca flour as it does slightly increases the starch content which improves the elasticity of the end result.
