Teachers and students of Huai Yot School, Trang Province, have a great idea to transform sago worms into rice crackers that are easy to eat, nutritious, and high in protein.
Method: Boil sago worms and blend until smooth. Add garlic, fish sauce, then mix with crispy flour, tapioca flour, salt, sugar, and ground pepper. Knead until the dough is smooth and does not stick to the bowl. Shape the kneaded dough into sticks, wrap in foil, and steam for about 40-45 minutes. After that, store in a plastic bag and refrigerate for 1 night to allow the dough to set before slicing into thin sheets. Dry in the sun until completely dry, and you will have crispy rice crackers ready to fry.
Sago worm crackers When fried, the cracker flour will rise beautifully. Sold in bags for 35 baht. The special thing is that the crackers have a light aroma of sago worms. They are crispy and delicious. They are suitable as a snack.
