STEP 1: Start by thoroughly rinsing the rice to remove the starch, by immersing it in fresh water several times.
STEP 2: Heat a pan over medium-high heat without any fat until it is very hot.
STEP 3: Once the pan is hot, add a handful of rice and watch it react by puffing up.
STEP 4: The rice will pop and puff up; when this happens, keep an eye on it until it turns golden.
STEP 5: Once golden and well puffed, remove the pan from the heat and pour the puffed rice into a container.
Making homemade puffed rice is within everyone’s reach, thanks to a simple process that takes less than 10 minutes of your time. The key lies in the choice of long-grain rice, which ensures optimal puffing during dry cooking. By heating your pan over high heat, the rice transforms and achieves that light and crispy texture so prized. You can use it in various recipes, sweet or savory, to add an original texture to your dishes.
With a few easy steps, you can whip up a quick snack or a tasty side dish, while exploring new culinary possibilities with this pleasant rice to savor.
