Ingredients

2 cups uncooked brown rice
2–2 ½ cups water
2 pinches sea salt

Method

Wash the rice and soak for a couple of hours or overnight.
Cook the rice in a pressure cooker until the liquid is absorbed.
Grind the cooked rice in a mortar until the grain is completely fluid and sticky. This will take at least 30 minutes of grinding when done by hand.
Shape the mash into 2 cm squares. Place the rice squares on an oiled plate and allow to dry for 1–2 days.
Keep covered in a cold dry room or in the refrigerator.
After this, roast the squares for 5 minutes in a pan.
