Senbei

Senbei is a traditional Japanese rice cracker that is crispy and savory.

Ingredients - Serves 6

Wash the rice thoroughly and cook it according to the package instructions.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and salt to make the seasoning sauce.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
Add the seasoning sauce to the rice and mix well to evenly coat the rice grains.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take a small handful of the seasoned rice and flatten it into a thin round shape on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat with the remaining rice, leaving some space between each cracker.
Brush the flattened rice with vegetable oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the senbei turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before serving.
