Kim Dae-seok's Butter-Salt Nurungji

A unique nurungji (crispy rice) made by lightly adding butter and salt to leftover cold rice, then slowly baking it over low heat to bring out rich umami and a deep nutty aroma.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using rice with a small amount of glutinous rice when cooking will result in much chewier, stickier, and more flavorful nurungji (crispy rice).
  • Dip the spatula in water before spreading the rice to prevent sticking and allow for an even, thin layer.
  • Avoid high heat—this can burn the rice before it becomes crispy. Always use the lowest heat to slowly evaporate moisture and achieve the perfect texture.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make delicious homemade snacks using leftover cold rice or day-old rice.
  • People seeking a premium, far richer and more savory version of toasted rice than store-bought options.
  • Individuals looking for a smooth, satisfying, and nourishing breakfast alternative when their appetite is low.
