How to make Crunchy Rice Flakes
-
Dry the leftover rice
Take the leftover rice out to dry completely in the sun. If the rice is spoiled, wash it thoroughly until there is no smell and it is no longer sticky, then take it out to dry completely in the sun.
-
Fried Rice
Place a pan on the stove, turn on medium heat, when the oil is hot, add the thoroughly dried rice and fry it immersed in oil until the rice is evenly golden and crispy.
-
Mixing Rice with Sugar
Place another clean pan on the stove, turn on medium heat, add 1 cup of water to the pan and add 3 tablespoons of sugar. Then, clean and slice the ginger into thin strips.
Bring the mixture to a boil and let it thicken slightly, then add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and the sliced ginger.
Cook until the ginger turns transparent and no longer has a cloudy color, then add the fried rice and stir well for about 3 – 5 minutes until the rice absorbs the sugar, then turn off the heat.
-
Pressing Rice
Place the cooked rice onto a tray or plate, use a spoon to press it down firmly to create a thin layer of desired thickness (depending on preference).
Let the rice cool, then cut into bite-sized pieces.

Tips for successfully making flakes from leftover rice:
- How to store flakes for a long time without becoming soggy: Wait for the flakes to cool completely before putting them in a tightly sealed plastic bag or container to ensure they remain crispy and delicious. This method also helps you keep the flakes longer without mold or becoming soggy.
- You should also limit the use of old rice as it may contain harmful mold.
Tips for using leftover oil:
- Cooking oil should be stored in clean plastic or glass containers; absolutely do not pour it back into the oil bottle being used.
- Let the cooking oil cool down. Place a strainer over a glass bowl. You can also line it with a paper towel to ensure no residue remains, helping to clean the oil and making it safer for the next use.
- Wait for the oil to filter clean; if you’re meticulous, you can filter it multiple times before pouring the oil into a jar, sealing it tightly, and storing it in a cool place.
