Steps
- 01
Check the dry ready-made nurungji; discard any damp or spoiled pieces. Break oversized pieces into 3–4 cm bites.
- 02
Arrange the pieces in one layer in the air-fryer basket and lightly coat them with 10 mL oil.
- 03
Air-fry at 160°C for around 5 minutes. Check color after about 3 minutes; stop early if already too brown. Adjust to the machine.
- 04
When crisp and pale golden, remove to a heatproof plate and cool briefly. Avoid touching the hot basket.
- 05
While still warm, sprinkle evenly with 12 g sugar. Add a little cinnamon if desired.
- 06
Serve after cooling enough to touch and eat soon for best texture; do not leave out for prolonged periods.

Before you cook
Read ingredients and allergen labeling of packaged nurungji. Discard damp or spoiled pieces. The basket and crisps are hot after cooking: cool before eating. If using leftover rice, use rice cooled promptly and refrigerated within one hour; avoid rice left out for long periods.
