Guoba (鍋耙 鍋巴 锅巴 lit. pan adherents) sometimes known as mi guoba (米鍋耙 lit. rice guoba) is a Chinese food ingredient consisting of scorched rice. Traditionally guoba forms during the boiling of rice over direct heat from a flame. This results in the formation of a crust of scorched rice on the bottom of the wok or cooking vessel. This scorched rice has a firm and crunchy texture with a slight toasted flavour and is sometimes eaten as a snack.
