Next, place a pot on the stove, add the black sesame seeds to the pan, and roast evenly for about 1 minute until the black sesame seeds puff up and make a popping sound, then turn off the heat and transfer to a bowl.

Fry the dry rice
Add 150ml of cooking oil to the pan, wait until the oil is hot, then put a bit of fried rice into the strainer and dip this strainer into the oil to fry.
Use chopsticks to stir the dry rice in the strainer over medium heat for about 3 minutes until the rice grains turn golden and fluffy, then transfer to a bowl. Do the same for all the dry rice!
Tip:- To ensure the rice grains puff up well, wait until the oil is really hot before adding the rice to fry.
- To avoid the rice becoming hard and not puffing evenly, you should fry the rice in small batches, only 2 handfuls of dry rice at a time!
-
Stir melted sugar with dry rice
Add 2 tablespoons of palm sugar into the pan, stir continuously over low heat until you pull two chopsticks apart and see thin sugar strands appear, then add the fried dry rice. Stir well until the rice is evenly coated with sugar, then turn off the heat.

Final product
The fried dry rice caramelized with sugar can be served in a bowl, pressed tightly and inverted onto a banana leaf to cool down, allowing you to enjoy the wonderful combination of sweetness, crunchiness, and the appealing aroma characteristic of fried rice and palm sugar. The flavor is deeply rooted in the rustic style of the Southwest region.
Simple way to make dry rice
- Use your hands to break up the leftover rice after the meal, spreading it out on a tray. Sun-dry for about 2 days until the rice is completely dry, loose, and has a size similar to rice grains.
- If the dry rice after drying still has clumps stuck together due to not being broken up well before drying, you can put those clumps into a mortar and gently pound them with a pestle so that the large dry rice clumps separate into small rice grains.
