I've been googling this shit for like an hour and theres not one single g/damn recipe on how to make the dry puffy circular health food type rice cakes.

All the recipes are either like an actual cake (that happens to contain rice), or some crappy twist where an idiot pops rice or corn, mixes it with a ton of peanut butter and other fattening shit and makes what I don't really consider a real rice cake in the least.

I want to experiment with flavors but right now does anyone know how to make a generic rice or corn cake W/OUT anything but the bare essentials (no flavoring or anything).

I don't understand how you take popped rice or corn, than make it stick together and hold form. I'm mixing popcorn with water right now and trying to cook it on a frying pan with out oil lol. (because oil obviously isn't used in store bought rice cakes) I don't care about taste right now I just want to know how to make the shit hold a tight form like rice cakes do. Like popcorn and poprice are fragile but the cakes somehow manage to get rigid like a mfkr. I don't get it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
