Kneading the Dough
First, put into a bowl: 100g flour, 50g black sesame, 60ml coconut milk, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon cooking oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Then, use your hands to mix well so that the ingredients stick together, forming a homogeneous mass. After kneading the dough, cover it tightly and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
Next, divide the dough into equal parts according to the desired size.
-
Rolling the Dough
Dust a layer of dry flour evenly over the cutting board or table to prevent sticking. Next, place each dough ball on top and use a rolling pin to flatten it thinly.
Tip: To make the rice paper more evenly round, you can use a bowl or a small cup, then press firmly onto the dough to cut it and remove the outer edges. -
Baking rice crackers
Place a non-stick pan on the stove, then arrange the crackers in the pan and bake over low heat until they are dry and slightly hard.
Next, put the crackers in the oven and bake at 100 – 120 degrees Celsius for 5 – 10 minutes until the surface is golden brown and fragrant.

Black sesame rice crackers will be very crispy after cooling, with a light aroma of coconut milk and roasted sesame, rich and fatty, guaranteed to be delicious beyond words!

Spread the cake
Put the pan on the stove, adjust the heat to the lowest setting to avoid burning the cake. When the pan is hot, pour an adequate amount of flour into the pan depending on the desired cake size.
When adding the flour, be careful to tilt the pan with your hand to help the flour spread evenly over the surface. Next, wait for 1 – 2 minutes for the cake to cook; when the cake is cooked, the flour will change from an opaque white to a transparent state.
When spreading the cake, you can flip it or not as you wish.

Drying the rice paper
After coating the rice paper, you need to sun-dry it for 1 – 2 days to use it, occasionally flip the rice paper while drying!
Tip: If there is no sunlight to dry the rice paper, you can use an oven or a dehydrator, drying at a temperature of 55 degrees Celsius for the first 4 hours. Then increase to 65 degrees Celsius and continue drying for another 2 hours; if the rice paper is dry and curled, it is done. -
Final product
After drying, you can re-bake it in the oven for 7 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. You can also bake the rice paper using an air fryer at the same temperature and time!
The rice paper after baking will have a beautiful light golden color, the fragrant nutty smell of sesame, and the rich taste of coconut milk blending in each piece, giving a delightful crunch when eaten.
How to choose delicious black sesame seeds
- You should choose sesame seeds that are not too black, clean, and free of dirt around them.
- Quality black sesame will have a distinctive aroma even when not roasted. If the sesame seeds have a musty smell of soil, it means they haven’t been cleaned properly.
- Additionally, you can buy black sesame that is packaged, intact at supermarkets or reputable stores like TasteVN to ensure safety and quality when using.
How to store rice crackers for a long time
For fresh rice crackers (just dried rice crackers)
- To keep them for a long time, you should divide the crackers into small bags and wrap them tightly for storage.
- Storing the crackers in the refrigerator’s cool compartment is the most reasonable choice, or you can choose dry, elevated places to avoid damp areas.
- If stored in dry, cool conditions, the rice crackers can extend their shelf life for 2 – 3 months.
For cooked rice crackers (baked rice crackers)
- Store them in a sealed bag to minimize air exposure.
- Keep the crackers in a dry place, avoiding direct sunlight.
