Here’s the recipe, as developed by nutritionist Nigel Mitchell for Team Sky:
-500g short grain rice (arborio or pudding rice). Not quick cook, and don’t wash it.
-Cook in a rice cooker with 1 litre of water, two table spoons of granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, vanilla, or nutmeg for flavour.
-Cooking time should be about 20 minutes, making rice that isn’t too soggy. Don’t take the lid off during cooking. Leave the rice to rest for five minutes.
-Add two tablespoons of coconut oil (which, despite it’s name, is a solid substance and not an oil) and 250g of cream cheese - chocolate Philadelphia is a favourite at Team Sky.
-Mix well.
-Lay out on cling film on a baking tray. Fold the cling film over the slab of rice to create a parcel - fold while the rice is still hot so it stays sterile.
-Leave the tray to cool, then put in the fridge overnight.
-The next day, chap the parcel of rice into energy bar-sized chunks. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Do not reheat the rice cakes.

[@claudiotrungadi1042]

Can you please let me know where to buy paper to envelop the rice cake or bars? It’s not easy to find a brand and a shop in Europe that sell it. Please let me know. Best regards and congratulations for the channel

[@thebeans66]

If you can order from Amazon where you live, they have it. Search for "Reynolds Pan Lining Paper, 30 Square Foot Roll"
