If boiling rice, using your microwave and frying something are too complicated for you than you should probably stick to your frozen fishsticks and cans of spaghetti-os.

Should just ask yourself what you're watching this for.

I'm Asian and I find this interesting and enlightening. I bet you didn't know popcorn worked like that or how certain rice snacks get their texture. I bet you didn't know how to make what he made before you watched the video. I sure didn't.

I was thinking more on the lines of a "Rice Krispies" type of puffed rice - not this overcooked, then microwaved THEN (yuck) deep fried type of rice.

Do you how THAT's made?

[MsNasternoo7]

That looks like dry frog spawn

Ain't nobody got time for that

Me2. So,stardust610134 just shut up and listen

this is called "bánh tráng mè đen" in Vietnamese. We grill them, not fry. Its kind of a street food, super cheap, super fun to eat

The idea is great, but too much work. The easiest way is frying the "spring roll skin / dry rice paper".

[janvoslos]

plastic doesn't break down under those waves nor under heat

[lolvideowatch]

that plastic in the microwave is extremely bad for you... please don't do this. I love CHOW but seriously that plastic in the microwave is so bad for you.
