  • 4 years ago
Footage shows locals making traditional rice crackers by smashing a big lump of flour using an over-sized wooden mortar in Ubon Ratchathani, north eastern Thailand.

The mass of raw flour will be separated into a small lumps before the baker processes it into thin slices. The uncooked slices are then grilled on a heated stove before they are ready to eat.

The indigenous rice cracker, locally known as Khao-pong, is a crispy snack comprised of rice, sugar, coconut oil, and eggs. This ancient thin cracker is cooked over a fire stove crisped with heated coal.
