Crispy Scorched Rice Chips (Nurungji)

Step 1

Heat Mahatma® Rice Ready to Heat Rice according to package instructions then let it cool completely and mix with 1/4 cup of water. In another bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar.

Step 2

Spread the rice evenly and and thinly as possible on a non-stick pan. No need to use oil! After spreading, cook over medium heat for about 5-10 minutes. You will hear crackling/sizzling noises.

Step 3

Shake the pan a few times until the rice loosens from it. Once it is able to slide around easily, you can flip it over using a spatula from underneath and your other hand on top.

Step 4

Flip it over once more after a few minutes. Adjust the heat accordingly.

Step 5

Cool completely then break the rice into small chips using your hands.

Step 6

Fry the rice chips in oil for 1-2 minutes in batches (do not overcrowd)

Step 7

Dry on paper towels to collect excess oil, then sprinkle over cinnamon sugar mix. I prefer to do this immediately after drying on paper towels- the sugar sticks better when the rice chips are still hot and have a little oil on them.
