Nearly every team now travels to the Tour de France with a team chef, and every day the chef makes batch of rice cakes for the riders. When we spent the day with Hannah Grant (@dailystews on Twitter) we learned how to make the rice cakes that fuelled Alberto Contador and Roman Kreuziger to 4th and 5th at the 2013 Tour.
It's probably easiest to cook along with Hannah and adjust your ingredients as you go as Hannah is cooking for 8 hungry pro cyclists. But, for starters, here are the ingredients that she uses:
All measures are approximate, and to feed 8.
Short Grain Rice - 1kg
Coconut Milk - 2 tins
Apple Juice - 1 litre
Water - 1 - 2 litres (approx)
Golden Raisins, Dried Apple Slices, Brown Sugar and Cinnamon to taste.
CAUTION - Rice cakes have a particularly short shelf life.
Huge thanks to Hannah - give her a follow on Twitter @dailystews

It's weird how unappreciated these chefs can be. I just have mad respect for them and I'll definitely try making those rice cakes.
Damn GCN. Mad respect for the time you guys take with editing, music, and camera angles. Truly appreciate it.

Yeah but was that dizzying! Great video and want some "apple pie rice cakes" for desert since I just finished lunch....
Divide everything by about eight, so that's: 125g rice 125ml apple juice 125 - 250 ml water Some coconut milk... Depends on the size of the tin you get, and adjust the amount of water you add to suit this too.
Hi Guy, the written recipe is in the description :-)
Spoon cam made me dizzy xD
Definitely going to fuel my summer riding spree with these. Cheers Hannah!
Tried this just yesterday, great recipe. Pro tip: try glutinous rice. You'll have to boil it in water or broth for a loooooong time, but it'll have a nougat-y consistency when cooked as opposed to grainy like steamed rice. No need to freeze :) slice into bars, wrap each bar separately in Japanese paper lined with roasted flour to keep the bar from sticking to the paper, and you're done. Source: I'm Filipino and I've cooked and eaten rice meals all my life.
I love these episodes. Nutrition is one of my favourite aspects of cycling and these recipes look great! Cheers for yet again another fantastic video :)
We have a 'GCN's Cycling Nutrition Playlist'. I'm afraid it's not all Hannah - GCN Masterchef Simon Richardson makes an appearance too.
I've done it for eating in my rides. My family eated all in the first day. Awsome !!!
Great videos, cant get enough of them at the moment!
Hannah you should have your own channel!!! Good stuff, nice narration aswell!

Thank you for this amazing recipe. It looks very beautiful! Please make more videos with recipes for long bike rides. Amazing channel!
Hannah Rocks! We want more Hannah, More Hannah, More Hannah :-)
You're right, it is paper back foil, loads of pro team soigneurs use it, but I think that it's mostly sold in Europe. Never seen it in the UK at least!
such a good channel, i learn something new everyday. Thank you!!
I love the Spoon Cam!!! You guys rock it out every time!!! And I'm in love with her accent, too, btw. I'm American, I dig accents.
I just made this recipe and it's awesome! Cooled it overnight and this morning I took a piece with me on a quick 60k spin just so I could try it out and it was great! Had another small slice with tea for a snack when I got in! Will definitely make it again, but next time I think I will swap the dried fruit for something savoury... maybe bacon;) Thanks GCN!

Bacon ,egg rice cake lol😮. I mean just thin slices for flavor .not crazy big bits 😢
Thanks! this is really useful!
Hannah!!! She has the best accent and love her cooking. Yummy & healthy stuff!
It can indeed!
I used arborio rice and may have overlooked it. They were pretty gelatinous. Will try a medium grain rice next and cook it just to the point of tenderness.
Most excellent work.
It's not out in English yet, but should be being published soon. We can't wait to get hold of it!
Those GoPro angles were brilliant
GoPro on the spoon, I love it!
JUST made iT to! Loved iT!
Yes, but not all fat is bad fat. Current thinking, within pro cycling at least, is that coconut fat is really beneficial.
I cannot believe you actually made this video...GCN I love you!
Awesome I am so going to make this tomorrow
I injured my back, which is obvs bad, but the upside is I'm getting to spend some time on cooking. I'm finally trying new recipes and this is the first one I'm trying. Thanks, GCN!
Thank you GCN that you took on my request!
Great tip. I use Japanese "Sticky" rice and when cooked, it's already sticky and holds together well. Will try these ingredients though. Thanks
More videos with Hannah please.
Hannah is amazing,she should have a cook show!
I made this yesterday.. like others have mentioned, I made it nice and sticky with the same consistency as the video and it wouldn't set! I'm throwing it in the bin now - will try again, being sure to keep it much drier; not like wet porridge.
Instantly recognized the danish accent :) great vid btw.
These look good. I have been using the recipe from the feed zone book for bacon and egg rice cakes, but I want to try these.
Can we just take a second to appreciate those sunglasses? It's like a 70's flashback.
YES SHE'S BACK! Thank you GCN. She's a really interesting person. Weird to see a cooking video on GCN though.
Would like to see more videos like this :)
That looks delicious! :) Yum!
just bought her new cookbook. Great recipes for "performance food" a really nice, overall quality book (paper & pic's)
Just made the rice cakes. Yum. Looking forward to eating some out on my next ride... And when I get back... And after dinner. Thanks +Global Cycling Network
Can we get some more videos of recipes GCN? love these!
You should do more videos with her I enjoy them. Also the GoPro on the spoon was a nice touch :]
Thanks for this
Great video, Hannah. Thanks for a great recipe/recipes once again, its motivated me to them out and to train hard/smarter. I would add 4/5 can of Mighty Malt/1 litre Carrot juice, instead of 1 Apple juice because you already added Dried Apple Slices. Some Sultanas, black corridors pepper, 2 cans rice milk, with same stuff you've but depending circuit, road time trial or high hill climbs which cyclist are going to need the best nutrition to get form of energy.
Hannah is the best!!!
Definitely yere best video! Haha
What ever happened to Hannah GCN? We need more of these :D

Is it possible to put them in the oven for 20minutes to have it more dry like a cracker?
i want that go pro spatula
Yet another amazing video GCN, Do you have any idea how many calories are in each piece?
excelente!!!!
Great recipe! No more powerbars. This are my new tanks of energy for my rides. Kudos!
Nice 👍 I will try this , With rice 🍚 and dates , apples ,
How long is "really short shelf life outside the fridge"? I don't want to pocket some on a hot ride for a few hours only to find my food has gone bad. I do want to give these a try though!
Brown rice is lower GI, but white rice is quite high GI. It's very high in starch, which does need to be broken down into simple sugars by your digestive system, but this is no bad thing. If you need an instant glucose hit, eat sweets or a down a gel.
You should do more videos with her, very approachable and warm.
That looked delicious and delicious and delicious and yummy
Not sure if anyone will read this comment, but can we have an estimation of the carbs/100g? Great recipe BTW, I really enjoyed it!
Thank you :)
Sweet rice also called mochi rice is sticky when cooked and will hold together better than regular rice. This is what I use.
It may be a silly question but what size of pot are you using to make 1KG of rice cake How many liters does it hold I have got a pot looks big enought but the rice swells up making it difficult to add the rest of the ingrediants with out spilling over the side.
Here in our Philippines,,, it is called biko or sinukmani in our province...its a delicious delicacy
Regular milk, soya milk or rice milk would all work.
so could you theoretically bake these? if not, any suggestions on how to make your own sweet flavoured rice cakes instead of buying?? many thanks, xxA
There is a very short shelf life on rice cakes because of this. It's also worth thinking about how on earth you'll keep them cool on a hot day in your back pocket.
I love the spoon camara
I would like a detailed explanation on how to package for the back of your jersey
Would cooking time be less if the rice were pre soaked several hours prior. Would pre soak affect the consistency of the finished product??
Thank you
This is really a carbohydrate bomb. Though rice is very popular food in Japan, this is first time seeing boiling with sugar, coconuts milk and apple juice. I'll try it.
I made these today! I have a 50 mile ride tomorrow with 25 miles of straight climbing. I am bringing rice cakes, pb&j with Nutella, and block shots. It's going to be a feast on wheels ;)

How was that ride mate?
SWEET!!
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
Is there a reason you add the cinnamon afterwards and not simply right after cooking like the fruits etc.?
I am not even remotely interested in cycling, but the cooking videos are great. I would love to see more.
Awesome
Can normal milk replace this coconut milk?
Can i use also dried banana slices ?
Can we use integral rice?
where can you find the paper to wrap the portions??? brand???
What exactly do you mean by vert short self life? Still good at the end of six hour ride, or even shorter?
Great biking, great food. I had a go looking on amazon for the special spoon Hannah is using. Can anyone tell me 'what' it is?

Richard Noble they wouldn't go off during a four hour ride but we'd recommend using fresh rice cakes rather than day or two day old ones.
Does any one know if adding a rice flour or corn flour slurry will help set the bars even further?
I love the way she said "Firm rice cake"
Can you use brown rice?
If you add Coconut milk, you've made Biko, a filipino food. Try it next time. Though traditional biko wouldn't have dried fruits in it.
Mine kind of fell apart. Any tips on how to make them stay in tact?
I love the danish accent
How much is 2 tins in liter?
Is long grain rice ok for this?
Can you use brown rice or will it not be sticky enough to form bars? Currently in the middle of making these with brown rice but I'm scared they wont work.

It's true. Brown rice didn't work well at all. Short grain white rice turned out well.
I'm new to cycling and still in the process of mastering my nutritional needs. That being said, what are the advantages of rice cakes? Thanks!
@gcn

Hey Ryan, the advantage is really flavour, for those people that have been riding for so long they are sick of energy bars, gels and drinks. The nutritional profile of the rice cakes is no better than an energy bar.

Well apart from the last month, in Britain there is not too much worry about hot temperatures :)... are there going to be more recipies for things like this in the future? :)
