Organic Brown Jasmine Rice Heat & Eat Pouch

1

Preheat oven to 200°F/100°C with fan function on. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2

Add rice to a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Let soak for 5 mins, then drain and spread evenly onto prepared baking sheet.
3

Place baking sheet in oven and allow rice to dry for 50-60 mins, making sure to stir it every 15 mins. When completely dry and crispy, remove from oven.
4

Heat oil in a medium-sized heavy-bottomed pot to a temperature of ~420°F/215°C.
5

Prepare a large tray lined with kitchen paper to drain the puffed rice. Take dried rice grains and drop them into the hot oil in small batches, immediately removing them once they puff up. Place them on the kitchen paper to remove excess oil and allow to cool.
6

The puffed rice can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
