I saw a few people make this on TikTok and wanted to try it for myself! This was super easy to make and only takes 2 ingredients— rice paper and cooked rice. It tasted super crunchy, but it was also so mesmerizing watching them puff up as they deep fry.
I used some leftover purple rice I had in the fridge for my rice paper flower center. You can also use cooked white rice mixed with turmeric powder for yellow-colored rice or even paprika powder to make red-colored rice.
What you’ll need to make Rice Paper Flower Chips:
- Rice paper
- Cooked rice
- Oil (for frying)
How to make rice paper flower chips at home:
First, we will need to cut 3 different sized circles (large, medium, and small), there are no specific measurements for the size of the circles. I just eyeballed the sizes and cut them.
Make 4 cuts around each circle, this will create the petals as they fry.
On a clean surface, lay the largest circle down and place a pinch of cooked rice in the center. Then lay down the medium-sized circle on top of the largest circle, pressing down on the center to get them to stick. Add another pinch of cooked rice to the center of the medium-sized circle and layer the smallest circle and press down.
Heat oil on medium-high heat to 350ºF and carefully drop in the rice paper flowers. They will puff up really quick, they are done when they float.
Sprinkle some flakey salt and enjoy!

- Cut 3 large circles, 3 medium-sized circles, and 3 small circles. I did not use any specific measurements for the size of the circles.

- On a clean surface, lay the largest rice paper circle and place a pinch of cooked rice in the center of the circle. Then lay a medium-sized circle on top and press down on the center. Add some more rice to the center of the medium-sized circle and place the smallest rice paper circle on top and press down on the center. Repeat these steps for the remaining circles.
- Heat oil in a pot on medium-high heat to 350ºF. Carefully drop in the rice paper flowers into the hot oil. They will puff up quickly, about 3-5 seconds. They are done when they start to float. Remove from the oil, and transfer to a cooling rack.
