Bonnies Amazing Rice Cakes Recipes

BONNIE'S AMAZING RICE CAKES

Steps:

• This is a very versatile recipe. It is both, a side dish or a complete entrée. You can make the cakes as written with just broccoli, or get creative and add a huge variety of different vegetables, shrimp, bacon, ham, and chicken. Change it up!
• Heat grapeseed oil and sesame oil in medium skillet over medium heat. (You can use olive oil, or peanut oil, too) You can also cook these cakes in an electric skillet.
• Chop broccoli and green onion
• Beat an egg with a fork in a small mixing bowl.
• Add the rice, broccoli, green onions and cheese to the beaten egg in the bowl and mix well. The mixture should be stiff enough to pat with your hands into a couple of cakes about 3 or 4 inches in diameter. If not, add a little more rice to it.
• Fry the two rice cakes in the hot oil. Gently turn when brown and fry the other side. When it is a nice golden brown, remove to a platter and keep warm.
• Here is how it looks! Enjoy!

RICE CAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, gently mix everything except the butter. Over medium-high heat, heat the butter in a large frying pan until it is foaming. (A nonstick pan is good for this purpose but cast iron can work well, too.)
• Working in batches if necessary, and adding more butter as needed, use a large spoon or measuring cup to place a scoop of the rice mixture in the pan. Press down with the back of a spatula to form a patty. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden and crisp on the bottom. Gently flip patty and cook another 3 minutes or until golden. Keep warm on a paper-towel-covered plate or pan in a warm oven.

10-MINUTE RICE CAKES

Steps:

• Mix rice, egg, basil, milk, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour rice mixture into the skillet in 2 equal portions. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until second side is browned, about 2 minutes more.

RICE CAKES WITH PEANUT SAUCE AND HOISIN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the rice cakes and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened. Drain and refresh under cold water.
• Meanwhile, make the peanut sauce: In a medium bowl, place the peanut butter, hot water, sugar, garlic and soy sauce, and whisk together until combined. Set aside.
• Heat a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet or wok on medium high. (Check the drained rice cakes. If they are sticking together, rinse them with cold water and gently toss to separate before adding them to the pan.) When the pan is hot, add the neutral oil and rice cakes, and toss to combine. Add soy sauce and stir-fry for 6 to 8 minutes, until the rice cakes begin to caramelize. (If more than a few clump together, add a tablespoon of water at a time and break them up with your spatula.) Add the yu choy and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the greens are wilted. Turn off heat, add the peanut sauce and toss to coat.
• To serve, drizzle with the diluted hoisin sauce, scatter with scallions and finish with sesame seeds.
