CHEESY RICE FRITTERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the cooked rice and egg in a large saucepan or a bowl.
• Add the grated cheese.
• Stir well. Now add the plain flour and baking powder. Season the rice with a little pinch of pepper and salt.
• Stir the rice again and pour in the melted butter.
• Stir well. Add the chopped shallot and some extra pepper or salt to taste if necessary.
• Combine the ingredients well. Add extra flour if the rice batter is too runny and wet. Pour a little olive oil in a large non-stick pan and place it over medium heat. Add the rice batter in badges. I used a serving ring but you can also add dollops of the rice and flatten them a little.
• Fry the fritters until golden and crips and then flip them over. Cook them golden on this side as well. Once done, transfer the finished fritters onto some kitchen paper to drain and fry another badge of them.
• Once that is done, place the rice fritters on a large serving plate and sprinkle with extra salt. Serve the fritters warm.

EASY BACON FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until just beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Drain all but 1 to 2 teaspoons of bacon grease from the skillet. Add green beans, onion, and garlic; saute until bacon is crisp and green beans and onions are softened, about 3 minutes.
• Push bacon mixture to one side of the skillet; heat sesame oil on the empty side, about 30 seconds. Pour in egg; cook until just set, about 1 minute. Stir into bacon mixture to combine. Mix in rice. Stir in soy sauce, a tablespoon at a time, until rice is evenly coated. Cook until rice is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.

EASY CHEESY BACON RICE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan, bring the rice and 2 1/2 cups water to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the rice is still firm, but cooked through and the water has evaporated, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool slightly. This is about 3 cups cooked rice.
• In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, add the bacon to the rice, reserving the skillet with the bacon greast. Stir the mozarella, parmesan, and egg into the rice mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the rice mixture into 12 mounds on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten into 3-inch patties. Sprinkle on both sides with the breadcrumbs. Panko crumbs work well here also.
• Add the olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Optional. Add the spinach to the skillet and cook over high heat, turning until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with the crushed red pepper. Top with the fritters.

CHEESY RICE BALL FRITTERS

Steps:

• Preheat a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.
• Saute the shallot and garlic with the butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the ham, cook until lightly crisp and then stir in the rice.
• Mix the ham mixture, cream cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, and parsley together in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Roll the mixture into 2-inch balls and put on a baking sheet.
• Add the flour, beaten eggs, and panko to separate pie plates. Season the panko with salt and pepper. Roll the balls through the flour, then the egg and then the panko. Gently add the fritters to the deep-fryer and fry until golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the fritters to a serving platter and serve.
