Ingredients
- 1/2 cup glutinous rice
Instructions
- Heat a pan or pot on low heat. Toss in raw sticky rice and dry roast it, making sure to stir constantly so it doesn’t burn. In about 5–10 minutes, you’ll notice a popcorn-like smell, and the rice will change to a golden brown color when it’s done.
- Let the rice cool off a bit after roasting.
- Then, use a mortar and pestle to crush the toasted rice until it’s free of grains. You’re aiming for a slightly rough powder, not too fine, to keep a crunch. If you’re in a hurry, a blender or food processor works too. Just give it a few pulses until you get the texture you want.
