The Ultimate Clean-Label Crunch: Authentic Korean Brown Rice Nurungji
Experience the rich, toasted warmth of authentic Korean scorched rice reimagined for modern, health-conscious pantries. Sourced and crafted in strict accordance with The Royal Standard, Maadan Double-Baked Brown Rice Nurungji (150g) starts exclusively with 100% Korean-grown grains. We combine 30% whole brown rice with 70% white rice, cooking the grains thoroughly before double-baking them on both sides to create an extra-nutty flavor profile and an airy, gentle crunch that never strains your teeth.
Unlike conventional packaged snacks that rely on hydrogenated frying oils, refined starches, and artificial flavor enhancers, our scorched rice crisps contain zero added oil, zero hidden sugars, and zero preservatives. Providing 566 kcal of clean whole-grain fuel per pack, it serves as an ideal non-greasy treat for clean-eating, vegan, plant-based, and low-FODMAP dietary lifestyles.
Pair your warm breakfast bowls with savory condiments from our authentic condiments and sauces, serve alongside whole legumes like our Organic Seoritae Black Soybeans, or explore wholesome comfort bowls in the Maadan Interactive Cookbook.
Four Versatile Ways to Enjoy
- Ready-to-Eat Healthy Snack: Enjoy these double-baked crisps directly from the pouch for a clean, non-greasy office snack. For an artisan “K-popcorn” treat, flash-fry individual pieces in hot oil for 3 to 5 seconds to expand them into a light, airy puff.
- 5-Minute Savory Porridge (Nurungji-tang): Bring 500ml of water or clean vegetable stock to a boil. Add the 150g pack of Brown Rice Nurungji and simmer for approximately 5 minutes and 30 seconds until the crisps soften into a warm, nutty, easily digestible breakfast porridge.
- Fragrant Roasted Rice Tea (Sungnyung): Add 20g of crisps to 2 liters of water and simmer for 10 minutes. The resulting golden broth is completely caffeine-free and has been treasured for generations in Korea as an effective after-meal digestive aid.
- Creative Gluten-Free Culinary Topper: Break sheets into rustic crouton-sized pieces to crown steaming soups and fresh garden salads with an earthy crunch, or crush over Greek yogurt and morning açaí bowls.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of adding 30% brown rice to this Nurungji?
Standard white rice Nurungji provides a light, classic crunch. Incorporating 30% whole brown rice introduces extra dietary bran fiber, minerals, and a richer, toasty chestnut note while keeping the texture light enough to chew comfortably without straining your teeth.
Is this scorched rice fried or cooked in oil?
No. Maadan Brown Rice Nurungji is 100% oil-free. The rice is first steamed and then double-baked on specialized dry plates, meaning there is zero greasy oil residue or added fat.
How quickly does this turn into Nurungji-tang (porridge)?
Because the rice was fully cooked prior to baking, it rehydrates rapidly. Simmering in boiling water for just 5 minutes and 30 seconds creates a comforting, velvety porridge that is much lighter and gentler on the stomach than processed oatmeal.
Can people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease eat this?
Yes. Rice is naturally gluten-free. Our Nurungji contains only pure Korean rice grains without wheat fillers, soy sauce glazes, or chemical preservatives, making it completely celiac-safe.
