Suggestions on how to choose ingredients

How to choose delicious brown rice

• You should choose brown rice grains with an outer layer that is slightly rough and shiny due to the bran layer covering the outside. The chosen sticky rice should emit the characteristic aroma of new rice, not be moldy, and feel smooth when grabbing the rice.
• You should choose 'huyet rong' (dragon blood) brown rice; when broken in half, you will see that the inside of the rice grain is red, and when eaten, it tastes sweeter than regular brown rice.
• Brown rice with weevils is old rice that has been stored, so it will be much less nutritious than newly harvested rice.

 

 

How to choose quality malt

• To make this brown rice candy the best, you should choose traditional malt that has a yellow to dark yellow, cockroach-wing color, and has a sticky consistency and flows easily. When eaten, it will have a fragrant, sweet, and pure taste, without making the eater feel throat irritation.
• When buying, you should choose malt products from reputable brands that are loved and trusted by many people. Besides, the packaging must be sturdy, high-quality, and clearly state all information.
• Currently, you can easily find and buy malt at supermarkets or on reputable e-commerce sites.

Make sesame brown rice candy

After the malt is cooked, add the roasted brown rice, stir evenly until the malt coats the brown rice grains evenly, then turn off the stove.

Continue to add to the pan, 100gr of roasted sesame and 100gr of peanuts, mix well for about 2 minutes until the peanuts and roasted sesame are evenly incorporated into the brown rice and malt mixture.

Cut the candy

After all the ingredients are mixed together, put the candy mixture into a mold, use a piece of nylon to press evenly and spread it flat so that the candy surface is firm.

Finished product

How to store the candy

Wait for the candy to cool completely before putting it into a container and closing the lid tightly. Do not close it tightly while still hot, as the candy will create moisture, which will make it soggy and spoil faster.
