Canapé Base (Rice Crispy)- 2 cups Chamdream rice (from Gyeonggi Province)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s cook the rice that will form the base of our delicious canapés. Rinse 2 cups of Chamdream rice thoroughly and cook it until fluffy, just as you normally would. The natural sheen and subtle sweetness of Chamdream rice will enhance the overall flavor.
Step 2
Once the rice is cooked, line an oven pan with parchment paper. Spread the cooked rice thinly and evenly over the parchment paper. Aim for a thin layer, as this is key to achieving a crispy texture; if it’s too thick, it might become soggy.
Step 3
To ensure a perfectly crispy texture, divide the rice into bite-sized portions. You can bake it as one large piece and cut it later, but dividing it beforehand will result in crispier, neater canapé bases. Gently press down with the back of a spoon or a spatula to shape them.
Step 4
Place the shaped rice portions into a preheated oven and bake at 170°C (340°F) for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the baking time based on your oven’s specifications. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 5
Wow! Your incredibly appetizing Chamdream rice crispy bases are ready. While freshly cooked rice is delicious, baking it into crispy rice yields a much deeper nutty flavor. They are so tasty, you could enjoy them as a simple snack!
Step 6
Now, let’s prepare the colorful toppings for our canapés. Get ready with boiled eggs, prepared shrimp, drained tuna, finely chopped cucumber (seeds removed), diced bell peppers, mashed avocado, and finely chopped pollack roe. Arrange these fresh ingredients attractively.
Step 7
[Making Shrimp Canapés] Start by spreading a thin layer of honey mustard sauce on the crispy rice base. Then, place a fresh lettuce leaf on top to add a satisfying crunch and freshness. 
Step 8
Cut the boiled and peeled shrimp in half crosswise. Arrange the cut shrimp on top of the lettuce, and then garnish with small pieces of mini bell pepper and chives for a colorful and beautiful finish.
Step 9
[Making Avocado & Pollack Roe Canapés] Here’s a combination for those who love mayonnaise. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise evenly over the crispy rice base. 
Step 10
Arrange thinly sliced avocado and pollack roe, known for its delightful pop, on top of the mayonnaise. Finish with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal. This creates a sophisticated Avocado & Pollack Roe Canapé.
Step 11
[Making Tuna & Cheese Canapés] A simple yet always delicious combination! Place slices of cucumber and cheddar cheese on the crispy rice base. The residual heat from the rice will slightly melt the cheese, making it even more delectable. 
Step 12
Add the drained tuna attractively on top, and garnish with colorful bell pepper. Who can resist the classic combination of tuna and cheese? It’s sure to be delicious!
Step 13
[Making Pumpkin & Egg Canapés] If you prefer a sweet and soft texture, this combination is for you. Spread a thin layer of sweet cheddar cheese sauce on the crispy rice base. 
Step 14
Top the cheddar cheese sauce with a fresh lettuce leaf, a large piece of boiled egg, and soft steamed pumpkin. This completes the sweet and hearty Pumpkin & Egg Canapé.
Step 15
