Ingredients

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Dough

  1. Mash the cooked rice with rice flour until smooth and sticky. Mix in soy sauce, sesame seeds, oil, and salt.

Shape the Crackers

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment. Roll small portions of dough into thin discs (about 2–3 inches wide).

Bake Until Crisp

  1. Place the discs on the tray and bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway. They should turn golden and crisp.

Cool & Serve

  1. Let the crackers cool for 10 minutes before eating. They’ll crisp up even more as they cool.
