All you need is a non-stick pan. Place it over high heat, and once it's completely hot, add a handful of rice—enough to cover the bottom of the pan.

The trick to puffing the rice without burning it is to keep moving the pan over the heat without lifting it, so it stays hot. Leave it still for 2 seconds, move it, leave it still again, and shake it.
The rice will start to puff up and sound like popcorn, but it won't jump. Once it's puffed and slightly toasted, quickly pour it into a bowl before it burns.

Continue in the same way with the rest of the rice.
And there you have it! Just like that, you've got puffed rice!

In the notes, we explain how you can use it.
