Instructions
-
Rinse 1 cup of long or medium-grain rice, add 1 1/2 cups water (1 1/4 cups for medium-grain), and bring to a boil.
-
Cover, simmer for 30 minutes, then remove from heat and cool.
-
Preheat oven to 300 F while the rice cools.
-
Spread the cooled rice on a baking sheet in a 1/4-inch layer.
-
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes until dry, then cool.
-
Cut the dried rice into 2-inch squares and store in a container.
-
To serve, deep-fry a few rice squares at a time, turning until browned and puffed, then drain on paper towels.
-
Pour hot liquid over the freshly fried rice immediately to achieve the sizzling effect.
-
For safety, ensure rice is completely dried and rapidly cooled, then refrigerate for up to seven days.
