- Heat a heavy-bottomed saucepan over high heat. When the pot it hot, add 1/2 to 1 tsp. vegetable oil.
- Add 1/2 cup wild rice, shake pan to thoroughly coat wild rice, cover, reduce heat to medium high, and shake pan until you can hear the rice popping.
- Reduce heat to medium low and keep shaking until the popping slows. Note that wild rice will not make as much noise as popcorn does, so you will need to listen closely.
- Sprinkle with salt to taste and serve.
Makes about 1 cup of Popped Wild Rice.
