Rice Patties Recipes

CRISPY RICE PATTIES WITH VEGETABLES & EGGS

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package directions; cool slightly. Press a fourth of the rice into a 1/2-cup measuring cup that has been moistened lightly with water; invert onto a large sheet of plastic wrap. Fold plastic around rice; shape rice into a 1/2-in.-thick patty. Repeat 3 times., In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium-high heat. Cook patties until crisp, 3-5 minutes per side; brush tops with soy sauce after turning. Remove from pan; keep warm., In same pan, cook and stir vegetables over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Stir in sesame oil, salt and pepper. Add water; reduce heat to medium. Cook, covered, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan; keep warm., In same pan, heat remaining canola oil over medium heat. Break eggs, 1 at a time, into pan; immediately reduce heat to low. Cook, uncovered, until whites are completely set and yolks just begin to thicken, about 5 minutes. To serve, top rice patties with vegetables and eggs. Sprinkle with chives and additional pepper.

RICE PATTIES - HOW TO MAKE RICE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Dice the onion finely and chop the fresh herbs.
• Combine the left over rice, egg, fresh herbs, onion and cornstarch. Mix well.
• Using a muffin scoop, scoop out the mixture and press first and then release on a cutting board to make patties. Flatten slightly with your fingers.
• In a frying pan with curved side, heat oil for shallow frying.
• When the oil is hot, add the patties, pressing down slightly to form a flat fritter. Don't crowd the pan.
• Fry one side until golden brown for about 5 minutes and flip.
• Drain fritters on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
• Serve with salsa, guacamole, hummus or anything else that has a spicy fresh flavor.

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.
