In the kitchen and how to use it
Rice-based oriental snack mix typically combines rice crackers, dried peas, sesame sticks, and roasted nuts into a crunchy, savory blend seasoned with soy sauce or similar salty-savory flavoring. It's designed for grazing straight from the bag, poured into a bowl for parties, or added to a trail mix alongside dried fruit for a sweet-savory contrast. The mix of textures, crisp rice pieces against crunchy nuts and peas, is part of what makes it more interesting to snack on than a single-ingredient chip or cracker.
Keep the bag tightly resealed or transfer to an airtight container after opening, since the fried and roasted components can turn stale or lose their crunch when exposed to air. At 506 calories per 28 g serving, portioning it out into a small bowl rather than eating from the bag helps keep servings in check; it also stands out with 13.2 g of fiber, 47% DV fiber, and 17.3 g of protein, or 35% DV, both unusually high for a packaged snack food.
