riced
Made grain-sized
Riced describes food that has been forced through a ricer—a kitchen tool with small holes that produces rice-like strands.
Potatoes are the most commonly riced ingredient: riced potatoes make the fluffiest gnocchi.
The texture is finer and more uniform than mashing.
In car culture, riced (from "rice burner") describes a vehicle with flashy but superficial modifications, usually disparagingly.
