Sanxian Guoba's one of our favorite things to order at a Sichuan restaurant. While it seems relatively unknown outside of China, it's a really cool dish. This puffed rice cake's made by drying out and quickly deep frying rice at a scorching hot temperature so the rice can get nice and puffy. It's served with a thick sauce called 'sanxian', which makes a real satisfying sizzle.Big thank you to Globik (https://www.youtube.com/user/GLOBIKvideos) for letting us use his video of that street vendor making puffed rice using the pressure method. What they're doing is making a classic sweet snack called 'mihua', which's sort of the Chinese equivalent of a rice krispy treat. Really cool video, be sure to check out the whole thing in 1080p:https://youtu.be/eGfWKq8kD68 As always, check out the written recipe! https://www.reddit.com/r/China/comments/85qe72/recipe_sichuan_sanxian_guoba_puffed_rice_cakes/Outro Music: "Add And" by Broke For Free https://soundcloud.com/broke-for-freeABOUT US-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn how to cook real deal, authentic Chinese food!
