  Mix the roasted rice

  After the sugar has completely dissolved, pour 100g of roasted rice into the pan and mix well so that the rice is evenly coated with the ginger syrup.

  Stir the rice continuously for about 5 – 10 minutes over medium heat until the rice sticks together and forms a candy-like consistency, then turn off the heat.

  Pressing rice flakes

  When the rice flakes have reached a certain level of stickiness, we will proceed to press the flakes into a mold. You use a square mold lined with plastic wrap underneath and start sprinkling a layer of peanuts and sesame seeds on top.

  Next, you add the rice flakes into the mold and use a spoon or a mixing spatula to firmly press the rice flakes inside the mold.

  Then, sprinkle a little more peanuts and sesame seeds on the surface of the pressed rice flakes and press down tightly once again. Let the rice flakes cool for about 1 hour, after which you will use a knife to cut the rice flakes into small rectangular pieces, just right for eating.
