rice crackers

Crispy Asian treats

Rice crackers are crisp, crunchy snacks made from puffed or compressed rice.

They come in countless varieties—plain, salted, wrapped in seaweed, coated with soy sauce glaze, or flavored with sesame or wasabi.

Common in East Asian cuisines, they range from light and airy to dense and crunchy: I grabbed a handful of rice crackers to snack on.
