Instructions
Step 1
Place 0.5 cups of rice in a bowl, adding a few drops of food coloring and 0.5 tablespoons of vinegar to set the paint in place. Stir well until smooth.
Spread the colored rice on parchment paper and place in the oven preheated to 200 ° C for 45 minutes.
Step 2
Mix a couple of drops of vinegar with food coloring, the amount of which will determine the color saturation of the rice.
Pour rice with dye into the ziplock bag, letting out the air as much as possible, mix the contents thoroughly, while moving the rice with the paint.
Then you should pour the rice onto the paper, let it dry.
Step 3
If it is necessary for the colored rice to remain firm and not brittle, then a large amount of salt is added to the water together with the dye, that is, a saturated saline solution is prepared. Thus, the rice becomes firm when saturated with salt.
