Homemade Sweet Puffed Rice - Filipino Recipe

Hello Hiveians!

I will share to you all one of the Filipinos snacks. The sweet puffed rice. We called it ampaw in Philippines. It is one of the delicacies of Philippines.

Sorry hivians if I do not have the step by step pictures process of cooking homemade sweet puffed rice. I will only write details.

Because we have a lot of excess rice the other day. We decided to dry it over the sun for about 2 days. Before drying, we wash it first and sprinkle it in an empty basin. Let it dry over the sun. The next day, we cooked it for our snacks. I have a funny stories for you before we got the right sweet puffed rice.

It is my first time cooking sweet puffed rice. I still try even I have no idea how to do it. My husband do not know also.

First try: In a pan with cooking oil, I put some dried rice. When it puffed, I put some sugar. Because of high fire it was burnt. Me and my husband are laughing. A funny try out! Good thing, ate @shikika arrives. She's laughing on us. She told us that only low to medium fire in cooking and do not put yet the sugar. She said, finish first all the dried rice to puff and take it out in the pan. Once all done, put sugar to caramelized. Then she get inside the room to play with my baby.

Second try: I followed what @shikika said. It was puffed great and had a caramelized sugar on top.

When @shikika will taste, she laughs again. She said to mix the puffed rice in a caramelized sugar not like the picture above. She said, the caramelized sugar is not enough to the puffed rice.

Third try: In a pan I add more sugar to caramelized and mixed the puffed rice of the above photo on my second try. It now looks like this below picture.

That's the perfect homemade sweet puffed rice. The caramelized sugar coated on the puffed rice.

Thanks to @shikika for the helps and tips. Now I know how to make sweet puffed rice.

See you around Hiveians on my next blog.
