How to Make Crispy Rice
Follow this simple step-by-step tutorial to learn How to Make Crispy Rice for enjoying any way you want! Love making a Crispy Rice Salad!
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked basmati rice*
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic chili sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Mix: Place the cooked rice on a large, rimmed baking sheet and add the rest of the ingredients on top. Toss to fully combine. Spread out evenly on the pan.
- Bake: Move the sheet pan one level below the heat source and cook for 15 minutes, tossing halfway. Keep cooking and tossing in 5 minute increments until it reaches your desired crispness - for us this took around 25-35 minutes.
- Cool + Serve: Let cool for a few minutes (rice will crisp up more as it cools) and enjoy any way you want - we love using it in our Crispy Rice Salad!
Notes
- *Rice: Two things: 1) for best results use day-old rice, that being said, we also tested this with just cooked and then cooled rice and ... it still turned out. 2) I also tested this using 2 bags of the quick microwaveable rice and it also turned out - if you are in a pinch. We used basmati rice every time we tested so that is our recommendation.
- Cook Time: Ovens vary so use our cook time as a guideline and keep an eye on the rice because cook time may vary.
- Storage: leftover crispy rice can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
