The sun-dried ''rengginang'' is deep-fried with ample cooking oil to produce a crispy rice cracker. This cracker is quite different from other types of traditional Asian crackers such as the Indonesian ''krupuk'' and the Japanese ''senbei'' or '' beika''; while most traditional crackers' ingredients are ground into a fine paste, ''rengginang'' retains the shapes of its rice grains.

''Rengginang'' can be plain or flavoured sweet, salty or savoury. The most common '' ...
