Has anyone tried that?
No, I haven't tried, but according to
https://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...27462707500227
Rice starch is used as (1) a cosmetic dusting powder, (2) a laundry stiffening agent in the cold-starching of fabrics, and (3) a custard or pudding starch. The non-food applications take advantage of the small size of the rice starch granules.
I remember my mother "cooking" starch on laundry day. It looks like there is a
rice starch adhesive used for museum framing that needs to be cooked. There is also a
rice starch for cooking. I also searched to see if rice starch can be substituted for cornstarch.
One site did not mention rice starch, but rice
flour and the amount need to be doubled.
Another site said that two teaspoons of
rice starch will thicken like 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
