Crispy Rice Snack Ingredients- 1 bowl of cooked rice (warm)
- 1 cup of mozzarella cheese (more or less to taste)
- 1 sheet of laver seaweed (gim)
- A pinch of toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Tear or cut the sheet of laver seaweed into small, bite-sized pieces. You can do this by hand inside a plastic bag or with scissors. Have your warm rice ready, along with the mozzarella cheese and sesame seeds.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Spread the warm rice evenly across the pan, making sure it’s in a thin layer to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the rice to form a round shape, like a pancake. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is lightly golden and crispy. Carefully flip it over.
Step 4
Once flipped, spread a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over one half of the crispy rice. Leave the other half empty for folding.
Step 5
Sprinkle the torn laver seaweed over the cheese, followed by a pinch of toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Step 6
Now, fold the empty half of the rice over the cheesy side, tucking the seaweed and sesame seeds inside. Press gently to seal it, creating a half-moon shape.
Step 7
Cook the folded crispy rice snack on both sides over medium-low heat again. This allows the cheese to melt and bind everything together, and ensures both sides are golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Step 8
Once the cheese is melted and everything is nicely sealed and golden, your Cheesy Crispy Rice Snack is ready! Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy this delightful snack that offers the savory taste of rice, the gooeyness of cheese, and the satisfying crunch of crispy rice – perfect for a filling meal or a delightful snack!
