Rice powder:
To make Thai rice powder at home, fry about 1 cup of uncooked jasmine rice in a pan with a small handful of galangal, a small handful of lime leaves, and a small handful of lemongrass. Stir the mixture over low heat until crisp and the rice begins to darken. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse until it turns into a fine powder.
