Here we show you how to prepare and store some at home, handy for use in your favourite dishes.
To prepare this, 90 per cent cooked rice should be deep-fried till crisp. The ‘90 per cent’ is an important keyword here, because if the rice gets too mushy, it will just not dry up and it will be impossible to deep-fry it.
Make sure you cool the Crispy Rice well before storing it, otherwise it will ‘sweat’ and become soggy.

This rice goes very well with Chinese clear soups. I dump a lot of it in my soups and they provide a nice crunch.
