Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and line a baking tray with parchment.

  2. 2

    Mix the rice flour and salt in a heatproof bowl, then stir in the water a little at a time until it comes together.

  3. 3

    If the cooked rice is cold, warm it briefly in the microwave so it is soft and sticky.

  4. 4

    Add the cooked rice and sesame to the bowl and knead with your hand, squashing the grains, until it forms a sticky, even dough.

  5. 5

    Roll tablespoons of dough into balls, set them on the tray and press each one out with wet fingers as thin as you can. Thinner crackers come out crisper.

  6. 6

    Bake for 10 min, then turn them all over and bake 10 min more, until dry and lightly golden.

  7. 7

    Stir the soy sauce and mirin together and brush the glaze over both sides of each cracker.

  8. 8

    Return them to the oven for 3-4 min, until the glaze is dry and glossy.

  9. 9

    Cool completely on a rack, where they crisp up further. Store in an airtight container.
