This is the sound of PERFECT Chinese crispy rice using two methods. In addition to various types of fried rice, this is my favorite way to use leftover rice. I love to cook it for breakfast. Wrap your leftover rice in a container the previous night and <\/span>get this golden brown, crispy rice cake. It is a popular Chinese breakfast with\u00a0steamed buns<\/a>, soy milk,<\/span> and small noodles<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pan-fried version Vs Deep-fried version <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To make the crispy rice cake, you can choose pan-frying or deep-frying. Both are great, but they have some differences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pan-fried version develops a golden, lace-like crust on the surface. When you bite, the internal texture is still soft. However, the deep-fried version has a crunchier surface and a taste similar to rice puffs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
