Korean Rice Nurungji 60g * 5 - Premium Korean Rice Crackers - Authentic Korean Flavor and Texture

I found this to be an interesting product. The package was in Korean, with almost no information available in English except for a sticker with the nutrition information and ingredients. I used online search to discover that this can be eaten dry as is, or reconstituted with water or other liquid into a porridge like consistency. I tasted this product several ways. First was just dry, straight out of the box. The description shows rice crackers, but this is actually small broken pieces in pouches. I munched a few pieces, but dry, it's rather tasteless and unappealing on its own. The second way I tried it was mixed into tomato soup in place of the oyster crackers I used to use. I now have to eat gluten-free, so oyster crackers are not an option, and I missed having some sort of cracker in soup. It took a little while to absorb some of the liquid from the soup, but it was actually very tasty in the tomato soup. The third way I tried this was as a crispy topping sprinkled on a salad, in place of croutons. It actually worked fairly well for this also. I took off a star because the description was misleading, calling it a cracker when it's actually more like cracker crumbs, and was mildly disappointed to find that this is fairly high in sodium. It's a good thing I only use a handful in soup or on a salad and not an entire pouch, because of the sodium content. But if you don't have to watch your sodium, I would recommend these as a good replacement for crackers or croutons that's gluten free.

This item comes in multiple small packages of broken pieces of crunchy rice. It’s not one or two whole package of crunchy rice as I had expected.

Hello friends, I selected this Korean rice crackers for eating.I was surprised to discover that this is a bunch of rice crackers that have been pre-broken into many pieces and individually wrapped. I thought these were going to be snack crackers so I was disappointed. I figured the only thing to do with it was to throw it into soup. It was okay but nothing I'd go back to try again.

The DH Foods Korean Rice Nurungji is a delightful treat to enjoy if you love the crispy rice on the bottom of a bowl of bibimbap. The rice is delightfully crunchy and keeps just a bit crisp when added to a bowl of soup. I love the toasted flavor, and it's delightful when added to a bowl of broth to add some texture and flavor. While I like the flavor and texture, this particular brand is not quite as good as others I've tried because the pieces are too small and broken. I prefer the brands of nurungji that consist of large pieces to break apart. This may be preference, but there were too many pulverized bits in these bags for my liking. That said, these still are very tasty and worth considering if you want to enjoy nurungji whenever you fancy.

I'm not Korean, but turns out going after the crispy rice at the bottom of a rice pot is not exclusive to Korean or even Asian cultures. In the days before rice cookers, I didn't mind the crispy rice but I ceded it to relatives who really liked it. It was news to me that Koreas turned crispy rice into a snack and something to add to soup. I can't say I'm fond of it as a snack - too plain, deceptively high in calories and relatively low in nutritional value. I wasn't sure what the value of adding it to soup was until I let it sit in my (miso) soup for a couple hours - I could get into the interesting texture, but again, not being in need of Korean comfort food, I'd rather have something more nutritious in my soup.

we tried this over the weekend, it was pretty interesting. eating them raw is not that enjoyable. for us it was better to just mix them with a hot broth type of dish. we had some pot roast that had a lot of beef juice so we took a small bowl of that with some extra juice and threw in the rice crackers. after letting it heat up and sit for a bit we tried it. it was an interesting addition. not much of a taste was added it was more of a texture addition. pretty decent.

The instructions are in Korean, so it wasn't clear what I should do with each bag of items. I looked up "Korean Rice Nurungji" on general instructions on how to eat this, and as is or with water seems like the general vibe. So eating it raw like crackers? It's good but slightly stale, and I found myself going after piece by piece more aggressively, so it's pretty good. Would recommend but wish they would add an English instruction sticker

So, I tried this as a dry snack and also tried it soaked in hot water. I couldn’t stomach it either way. From the texture, to the hardness, to the unfortunate lingering aftertaste – it’s not for me. Just a small amount got my taste buds and my stomach in a tizzy.
