Last week I set out to see if I could make homemade rice crackers, and it turns out I totally can! This homemade rice cracker recipe idea came about on a bit of a whim as I had some leftover rice from sushi bowls and I wondered what I could do with it
It turns out, if you add a little bit of natural flavouring and bake it, you can totally turn leftover rice into crunchy rice crackers. I used sweet smoked paprika to flavour my crackers, it makes a homemade bbq cracker type flavour and adds colour, but you could try your fav spice!
What rice do you need to make homemade rice crackers
I tested this homemade rice cracker recipe three times, but each time I used the same sort of rice, so I cannot say definitively if other rice types will make great rice crackers. On the three times, I made my these rice crackers I used leftover unflavoured sushi rice. I suspect the recipe will work with other short-grain rice types, such as calrose or arborio, you need to leftover tice you use to be quite sticky so that you can form it into a ball. So fluffy leftover long grain rice probably won’t work. I haven’t tested this recipe with brown rice to make brown rice crackers, but it is on my list to do as it would be great to make these rice wafers a little more nutritious with brown rice as a base.
