String hoppers or Idiyappam replicate tiny noodle nests that are used in main meals ideally for breakfast and dinner. The string hopper press and mats are widely available in Sri Lanka and now even other countries too. Roasted Rice Flour (red or white) mixed with warm water and salt makes the ideal meal with finger licking sambals and curries. Variations of string hopper Pilaf are also available here while you can add a little food colouring to your white string hopper mix to make it a colourful affair. The process of making a string hopper is a bit arduous but the wait is always worth it.
