Yellow Rice Cakes
Description
Yellow Rice Cakes are prepared by combining cooked and cooled yellow rice with whisked eggs, grated mozzarella cheese, and kosher salt. The mixture binds together to form patties that hold their shape when cooked. Each portion of the rice mixture is carefully placed into hot olive oil in a sauté pan and flattened to create a round cake. The cakes are cooked until golden brown on both sides, which creates a crisp crust while maintaining a softer interior with melted cheese and seasoned rice.
The overall texture is characterized by a contrast between the caramelized outside and the tender, cheesy inside. These rice cakes can be served warm as a side dish or snack, adding a comforting and slightly cheesy flavor dimension to a meal. The use of yellow rice provides color and subtle flavor originating from the seasoning in the rice mix.
Ingredients
- 2 egg large
- 1 package yellow rice mix cooked and cooled
- 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. 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.
