Russian dessert
Description
Popcorn and puffed rice are made using the same principle, but making popcorn at home is much more difficult, whereas puffed rice can be prepared in just 3 hours. There are two ways to make it: in a wok (fried in oil while raw), or in the oven and deep fryer. I recommend the second method, as it is less "hazardous." Rice has a hard outer shell, so it needs to be boiled first, and then baked and deep-fried.
