Making puffed rice decor

I have seen a dessert decorated with some sort of puffed rice tuile and have a general description of the method, but can't find anything more specific online.  I am wondering if anyone else has a recipe for this?

Here is what I was told - use over-cooked soft rice and dehydrate overnight.  Fry in hot oil.  

When I have tried this, my rice ends up being quite hard, instead of puffing in the oil.  Any suggestions?

Most likely your oil wasn't hot enough. It could also be too dry. I'm also thinking there could be a retrogradation problem, so I guess don't get it cold and/or use a shorter grain rice.

 

You can also use a microwave to puff stuff.

 

Korean markets are great sources for puffed grains.
