Equipment

  • Nonstick Pan

Ingredients

  • Vegetable or Canola Oil For frying
  • 1 cup Leftover Rice
  • 1 pc Nori Sheet
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Sugar

Instructions

  • Place your pan on medium heat, put oil, and spread it out evenly.
  • Once the pan is hot enough, put rice on top and spread it out into a thin layer.
  • Allow the rice to crisp up for 5 minutes on each side. Using your spatula, flat out the rice even more to crisp it up.
  • Meanwhile, combine soy sauce and sugar to create a glaze.
  • After 5 minutes, flip the crispy rice, brush it with some glaze, then flip again to brush the other side with the glaze.
  • When desired crispiness is reached, place the rice into a cutting board, and slice it into 4. Cut up rectangular nori sheet and fold each sheet at the bottom of the sliced crispy rice.
  • Serve freshly made and enjoy the crunch!
