Millet Crispy Rice Snack (Xiao Mi Guo Ba)

サクサク止まらない!粟(あわ)で作った「麻辣おこげチップス」

Spice 2 Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-free

Description

'Guo Ba' originally means 'scorched rice' stuck to the pot's bottom, but as a snack, it refers to thin squares of rice or millet (Xiao Mi) dough deep-fried into crispy chips. Those made from 'Xiao Mi' (Millet) have exceptionally strong roasted aromas, dusted with Ma La or Five Spice powder, making them highly addictive.
