Rice Cracker Noodles
Crispy and chewy rice crackers indicate a well-made product.

Food Safety and Hygiene
Opt for dry rice crackers if you plan to store them for an extended period.

If you lack the time to prepare dry rice crackers or select wet rice crackers, you can use as a convenient alternative. This way, you can enjoy the delicious taste of rice crackers while maintaining the highest standards of food safety and hygiene.
