Prepare the leftover rice in a container, then mix it with clean water. The addition of water is to help the very dry rice grains become moist again. Then, let the rice soak for a while. "I soaked it for quite a long time, because that morning I soaked it, then I just cooked, cleaned up, and so on," said the owner of the TikTok account @ayumita181, quoted by BrilioFood on Wednesday (28/8).

After soaking, drain the rice and transfer it to a blender cup. Now, before blending it, mix the rice with various spices. TikTok account owner @ayumita181 added spices such as garlic, coriander, flavoring, pepper, and salt. Then, add enough water. Blend the rice until it is evenly mixed with the spices and the texture becomes smooth like porridge. Next, transfer the rice porridge into a container.

After that, boil the cracker dough in boiling water. Don't forget to pour oil into the boiling water before adding the dough. Boil until the cracker dough is cooked, the sign can be seen from the dough that has floated in the water. Then, remove and drain the dough. After draining, the surface of the dough can be given food coloring according to taste to make it look more attractive. Next, store the cracker dough in the refrigerator. "After coloring, we put it in the refrigerator for about 5 hours," added the owner of the TikTok account @ayumita181.
