Ingredients:

• steamed rice
• water (just enough amount for washing)
• refined sugar
• oil (for cooking)

Steps:

1. Let's start with the steamed rice. First, soak it in water for a few minutes to soften (leftover rice gets hard over time). Use clean hands to massage the rice to break it apart.

 
2. Now, drain the rice and make sure you remove all the water in it. Spread it into a large and wide serving tray.

 
3. Let it dry and sit under the sun for a few hours or until rice becomes brittle.
4. Gather and transfer in a container.

5. When the drying process is done you can start cooking the rice in a preheated oil.

 
6. Fry it until it puffs or turns light brown and crisp.

 
7. Remove excess oil then sprinkle with sugar.

 
8. Mix puffed rice and sugar then it's ready to serve.
