Easy rice paper flower chips✨

1️⃣ Using sharp kitchen scissors, cut 4 circles per rice paper sheet for the large circles, and 8 circles per rice paper sheet for the small circles until you have 8 large circles and 8 small (they don’t need to be perfect and don’t worry if they crack or break in places) 

2️⃣ Slice five slits (in towards the center) around the edge of each circle, keeping the center in tact (this will create the flower petals)

3️⃣ Mix together the ingredients for the red centers in one bowl and the yellow centers in another bowl

4️⃣ Place a small ball of colored rice in the center of one of the large rice paper circles and stick a small rice paper circle on top; place another little ball of colored rice in the center on top of the small rice paper circle; repeat until all flower chips are made

5️⃣ Pour oil into a medium pot or wok (you should have ~2” of oil) and line a large plate with two layers of paper towel; heat oil to 400F (you can test the temp with a meat thermometer or throw in a rice paper scrap to test)

6️⃣ Fry flowers one at a time, removing them from the oil immediately once they puff up, and place them on the paper towel lined plate to drain; after a few minutes, flip flower chips to drain the other side

7️⃣ Sprinkle flower chips with salt and enjoy! These are best enjoyed fresh :)
