Puffed rice cakes

Puffed rice cakes

Puffed rice cake is a type of food made with puffed rice. Typically, it is eaten as a healthy snack, although some also use it as a variant of Wor bar. In the commonly available commercial format, one rice cake provides around 40 calories (8 grams carbohydrate). However, brown rice cake is 70 calories, 16 grams carbohydrate.

Wor Bar

Traditionally, "Wor Bar" ("Guo Ba" in Mandarin, translates to "pot's burnt") refers to the slightly browned rice that is stuck to the bottom of clay pots, which, after caramelization, results in the rice being formed into a single piece and giving it a slightly burned flavor. It may be brewed into tea, or served as part of a main meal by pouring savory meat sauces over the heated puffed rice cake.
