To make crispy puffed rice at home, coat old rice with a bit of salt and 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, then dry it under a fan or in mild sunlight for 10 to 15 minutes. Heat common salt in a pressure cooker over high heat, add the prepared rice in small batches, and it will instantly puff up into crispy puffed rice.
Old rice is recommended because it contains less natural moisture compared to new rice. This lower moisture causes the rice grains to instantly puff up, turn white, and become light and crispy when stirred in hot salt.
As soon as the rice puffs up, strain it through a sieve to remove excess salt. Let the prepared puffed rice cool completely and then store it in an airtight container so it remains crispy for several months.
