Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice cakes (sliced into strips)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside for coating later.
  2. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or skillet to a depth of about 1 inch. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C), or until a small piece of bread sizzles immediately upon contact.
  3. Fry the Rice Cakes: Carefully place the rice cake strips into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  4. Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried rice cakes and transfer them onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  5. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While the rice cakes are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated to enhance their sweetness and flavor.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the rice cake churros immediately while warm and crispy for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • You can adjust the cinnamon to sugar ratio based on your sweetness preference.
  • Use fresh rice cakes to ensure the best texture and frying results.
  • If you prefer less oil absorption, fry at the correct temperature and avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Serve with chocolate sauce or honey for added indulgence.
