Brown Rice Cakes
Description
Brown Rice Cakes bring together cooked brown rice, beaten eggs, grated mozzarella, and kosher salt to create a cohesive mixture shaped into patties. Pan-frying each patty in olive oil over medium heat produces a golden crust on the outside while keeping the interior tender. This combination highlights the nutty flavor and chewy texture of brown rice enhanced by subtle melted cheese and seasoning. The cakes are shallow-fried until each side browns evenly, about 3-4 minutes per side, giving a satisfying contrast of textures.
The straightforward ingredients and cooking method make these rice cakes a flexible dish that can accompany various mains or be enjoyed as a light meal or snack. The use of brown rice adds whole grain nutrition and a hearty base. Olive oil provides a mild fruity flavor while frying and helps achieve the crisp exterior.
Ingredients
- 2 large egg
- 2 cups brown rice cooked
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese grated
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- olive oil
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the rice, cheese, and salt and stir to combine well.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Carefully place 1/3 cup of the rice mixture into the hot oil and use a spatula to flatten into a patty.
- Saute until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
