What is flattened rice? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flattened_riceMy local supers started selling ready to eat (just add water) type of flattened rice. Review of MTR Poha/Upma Ready to Eat : fodyssey.com/2016/05/16/mtr-ready-to-eat-poha-upma-product-review/I have also seen a local indian super selling just rice flakes/flattened rice by the 500g. Am just thinking this might be a good prepping food type. Its light weight and you can carry 1kg or more in PET bottles easily. Mixed with a bit of bullion or just salt and pepper with water, should make a quick calorie booster... I've tried the ready to eat meals... won't say its full enough for breakfast but it is really easy to make.. |

i bought a bunch of
1. Rava/Sooji (cheap, can't really remb how much)
2. Flattened Rice flakes (500g S$1.50)
from a local indian super.
Tried adding hot water, some truffle olive, salt and pepper... and its quite delicious... works like mash potato...
Will try Rice flakes with room temperature water soon. If that works, I have a fast strike ration also!
I discovered yesterday that they have Flattened Corn too! Might buy that in another trip.

tried another round with 2 packets of dried miso powder. sesame oil and abit of canned chickpeas, with the semolina. And loads of HOT WATER.
Its really good. Good enough for dinner, 4 heaped spoonfuls.

managed to try korean pollack soup base + seasame oil + semolina... looks like a possible food store for asian cooking.
Once I am done with this, will move to rice flakes experiments

How Myrrph, how is Singapore these days? We hear that the govt is telling everyone not to panic or hoard noodles etc due to the virus.
How is it on the ground?

we are in DORSCON Orange. Office is testing social distancing - i.e. work from home...
but our numbers aren't that big yet. not an overeaction but so far its been good. The media has been sensationalising some hoarding, but actually its just normal folks just getting their 2 weeks groceries in case. the bad ones are those who buy enough instant noodles and toilet paper to last till 2035 or more...

I heard from a friend in Hong Kong that toilet paper is in short supply, with people buying a year's worth at once.  |

thats silly... wife was asking if we should buy too .. i told her we have a year's supply in (30++ rolls).. its DORSCON Orange not Red. When the furore dies down abit after they realise world's not ending, I'll get another 3 packet hahaha...
Food wise we are good for a year or more. Might get abit more soon. Just need some space in the freezer to freeze the rice
