Toasted rice powder – Nasi Lun Bawang By Zoee Wong

Ingredients:

• 100g uncooked Beras Adan (white heirloom rice)

Method:

1. Rinse rice thoroughly and drain.

2. Spread rice on paper towel to remove excess liquid and allow it to stand for 3 hours till it is dry to the touch. You can expedite this process by using a dehydrator.

3. Toast rice in a sauté pan until deeply golden brown. You may also do this in an oven. Some grains puff slightly during the toasting process, depending on the amount of water that might have entered the grain - this will expose a lighter-coloured interior, which is acceptable.

4. Allow toasted rice to cool.

5. Once cooled, grind to a powder and pass through a fine sieve or chinois. You may do this in a Vitamix. Grind and pass the sifted portion once more to reduce wastage.
