2 Foolproof Ways to Make Puffed Rice at Home—No Oil Needed!

Craving that crunchy puffed rice but don’t want to run to the store? You can totally make it at home with just rice and a few kitchen basics. Here’s how I do it: For the oil-free method, grab some uncooked rice and soak it overnight. Drain and dry the grains really well, then heat them in a super hot, dry pan. Stir constantly until they puff up—takes just a few minutes! If you’re cool with using oil, cook your rice, dry it out, and then deep-fry small batches in hot oil. Watch them puff up instantly! Drain on paper towels and snack away. Both ways are super easy and honestly taste way fresher than store-bought. Perfect for topping yogurt, salads, or just munching straight up. #PuffedRice #DIYsnacks #HomemadeTreats #Food #Cooking
