To make the roasted rice powder, place a small, heavy ungreased skillet over medium-high heat.

7
Cook until the meat is white and firm, 1 to 2 minutes.
8
Drain into a sieve, transfer to a large bowl, and set aside to cool.
9
If desired, reserve the cooking liquid for another purpose, though it will be cloudy.
10
To make the sausage, add the shallot, chile, cilantro, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of the roasted rice powder to the chicken.
11
Gently toss together with your hands, without kneading, until well mixed.
