Rice Crackers & Rice Cakes - Hot Thai Kitchen!

Making your own rice crackers isn't as hard as you might think! There are many types of rice crackers, but the basic idea is the same regardless of what kind you make: Start with cooked rice, then you shape it, dry it, and puff it in high heat. In this video I show you 2 examples of this process, one that is thin and crispy like "rice crackers," and the other one thicker and puffier more like "rice cakes."
Their neutral flavour means you can then use it for whatever dip you like, it's a great gluten-free option to go with your favourite dips!
