In a dry pan, toast 1 tbsp of uncooked rice (or more if desired) over medium heat until it turns golden brown and fragrant. Stir constantly to avoid burning. 6. Once toasted, allow the rice to cool slightly, then grind it into a coarse powder using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. Mix the Chicken: 7. In a large bowl, combine the crispy chicken pieces with 1 tbsp soy sauce, the juice of 1 lime, 1 tbsp chili flakes, the toasted rice powder, the sliced shallot, and chopped coriander.
