What is popped rice/popped rice salad?

Popped Rice is basically frying the rice till it pops. You take regular white rice, heat oil in a pan till hot, and fry the rice. You can tell it is ready when it gets white and sort of pops. It kind of looks like rice crispies. It takes very quickly and you need to stir it the whole time and make sure it doesn't burn.

The salad is as follows:

Iceberg lettuce
Cucumbers
Purple onion
Avo
Popped Rice

Dressing:
1/2 Cup Mayo
1/2 Cup Oil
1/4 cup vinegar
1 tsp Salt
4 TB Sugar

It's delicious and yummy with a nice crunch.
Enjoy.

Sounds great.

What's Avo? And can you give me an idea of amounts of rice, lettuce, etc. for that amount of dressing, please?
Thanks!

What's that?

It's similar to doughless potato knishes. cook potatoes in the peel. peel and mash potatoes. Then mix fried onions and the oil from the fried onions into the mashed potatoes. add eggs salt pepper and a little flour. put large spoonfulls onto a generously greased pan and bake. It's yum!

Okay, I tried this and the rice did not pop. Is there a specific kind of white rice that works best? Or something I did wrong?
Also, could someone answer the other questions:
What's Avo? (the only thing I can think of is avocado - is that it?)
And can you give me an idea of amounts of rice, lettuce, etc. for that amount of dressing, please?
Thanks!

the only way I have success popping rice is if I use uncle bens converted rich (the original one) and the oil must be very very hot otherwise you will just burn the rice and it wont pop properly.

I would assume avo is avocado as you said

I use diff salad ingredients and a diff dressing for my popped rice salad which e/o always loves so here it is:

1 bag sliced green cabbage
1 can hearts of palm
1 can of baby corn
3 scallions sliced

1/2 cup uncle bens converted rice

dressing:
1/2 cup mayo
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp white vinegar

in a small pot put 1/2 cup of oil and let it get really hot then drop in the rice and let it pop watch it carefully it happens really fast and can burn.
drain the oil and let the rice dry on a paper towel

Okay, as someone said it's the Uncle Ben's original (I don't live in the US, so I use a weird rice, but in the US I find the Uncle Ben's works the best-it's the orange box).
Heat oil in pan till very hot, and put the rice in. It should start getting white and puffy immediately. If not, the oil isn't heated enough or there isn't enough oil. Also stir it with a spatula the whole time. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes.
Avo is avocado.

I use let's say one head of iceberg lettuce or more, most of an english cucumber, most of a purple onion- but I like my salads very oniony. And 2 avocados. It should be pretty dressingy. Often I have enough dressing for friday night and shabbos day. Depending.
Hope that helps.

Oh, just saw this. I use much less oil than that usually, and I do it in a frying pan.

Sorry, I haven't check the thread in a while. The soup came out really well. I use actual pumpkins , but I am sure you can use something canned.

Pumpkin Soup:
2 mini pumpkins
5 cups of stock (vegetable or chicken)
1tbs maple syrup
1tbs honey

Peel and cube the pumpkins. Put them in a pot with the stock and simmer until the pumpkin is soft. (About an hour on my stove). Add the honey and syrup and blend with an immersion blender.

That's it. It's really simple.
