## Ingredients

- 3 cups instant rice
- water
- oil
- dried oranges
- dried kiwi
- 100 g sugar
- 200 g rice syrup
- 2 T maple syrup or syrup
- 2 T raisin
- 1 T black sesame seed
- 1 T peanuts or nuts

## Instructions

1. Take the uncooked instant rice and put it in a bowl with water.
2. Crumble the rice with your hands, then rinse and clean it 3-4 times to get rid of the milky water.
3. Poke holes in a baking sheet on a dehydration tray.
4. Spread the rinsed rice evenly on the baking sheet and dehydrate for 10 hours at 70°C (158°F).
5. Heat up a pot of oil, ensuring it's well-heated.
6. Using a strainer, place the dried rice directly on top of the hot oil; it should pop like this.
7. Remove the popped rice from the oil and place it on a kitchen towel to drain.
8. On a tray lined with baking paper, arrange dried fruits like oranges and kiwi as a base.
9. In a pot, add sugar, rice syrup, and maple syrup (or honey/yuzu syrup).
10. Make sure the sugar is watery, then add raisins, black sesame seeds, and nuts to the mixture.
11. Stir the mixture until it bubbles.
12. Once the sugar bubbles up, add the rice puffs and stir so they are evenly coated with the sugar syrup.
13. Once the rice mixture gets sticky, place it evenly on the tray with the dried fruits.
14. Press the rice mixture firmly using a spatula or a cutting board.
15. Place a cutting board on top, flip it over, and then start cutting into pieces.
16. Serve and enjoy the snack.
