How to make three-color rice ARARE/Hail cake

I always envy other people’s tables full of delicious food. Well, here I will show you how to make the dish Three-color Rice ARARE/Hail Cake.

1. Put the cooked rice in the net and rinse it with water to wash off the paste on the surface. You can use the rice that you didn't finish eating or the rice that is stuck to the side of the rice cooker. If there is too much paste, the rice will stick to it and it will be difficult to handle.

2.12 Put the washed rice on a paper towel or gauze to absorb excess water. Do not rinse it for too long, otherwise the rice will absorb too much water.

3.21 Put another one on top and press gently. Don’t use too much force, and don’t leave it there for too long, or it will be hard to remove.

4.12 Then put a baking paper on the baking tray and shake the processed rice on it. Try not to let the rice grains stick together, spread them out evenly. If there are any sticky spots on the paper towel or gauze, you can use a scraper to remove them.

5.21 The oven can be set to the lowest temperature (most ovens should be 100 degrees) and the baking tray is placed in the oven for about 30 minutes.

6. The goal is to dry it, not to heat it. The door does not need to be completely closed, just open it a little to let the steam out. Of course, you can leave it outside to air dry! Leaving it for about 1~2 days will have the same effect. Just be careful not to be eaten by birds.

7. When the minute is up, take it out and put on gloves to loosen the stuck rice. Put it back in the oven for another 30 minutes to let it dry completely.

8.1 It's time to fry! Prepare high temperature frying oil (about 190 degrees) and gently put it in

9.2 Put the dried rice on the iron rack to cool. This can be kept for a long time. You can make more and store it in bottles or fresh-keeping boxes.

10.1 After frying, place on oil-absorbing paper. It is also delicious to sprinkle a little salt on it! It is also good to put in tea/rice soup!!

11.2 It has expanded. Take it out after it expands. The temperature must be higher than that of ordinary frying! Only in this way can the expansion effect be achieved! You can adjust the frying time yourself. If you like white color, take it out immediately. If you want the fragrance like senbei, fry it for a little longer.

14. I will make 3 kinds this time. So I will divide them into 3 plates

15. Make the white first! Add sugar and a little water to the pot and cook it on low heat until it has a little consistency. You don’t need to cook it until the color comes out! This is not caramel

16. Then add 1/3 of the expanded rice

17. Keep stirring over high heat to make sure each grain is covered with sugar.

18. Then turn off the heat and continue stirring. The sticky rice at first... magically becomes sandy! This is the effect of sugar crystallization! It's so fun~

19. Pour out the dried ingredients after they are separated and cooled.

20. Also make green ones! No need to wash the pot, just keep using it! The method is the same and after it is done, put it in the bag and sprinkle some matcha powder

21. Seal the bag and shake it to evenly distribute the matcha powder and color it.

22. Finally, to make pink! Prepare red water. I use food color (red No. 7) and put a little bit into the water with a bamboo stick. Be careful! The color is very strong! If you put too much, it will become too red.

23. The following steps are the same. Add red water

Maybe you have eaten many versions of Sanseki Gohan ARARE/Hail Cake, but you certainly can't imagine what it would taste like if you made it yourself? To satisfy your curiosity, you can really try it yourself.
