Crispy Fried Rice Cakes

Ingredients

Vegetable oil

for frying

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Garlic powder

1 teaspoon

Sesame oil

1 tablespoon

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

Green onions

1/2 cup, finely chopped

Eggs

2, beaten

Cooked rice

2 cups, preferably day-old

Chili sauce

for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, beaten eggs, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
3. Take a small handful of the rice mixture and shape it into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form all the patties.
4. Carefully place the rice cakes into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Remove the fried rice cakes from the skillet and drain on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
6. Serve hot with a side of chili sauce for dipping. Enjoy the delightful crunch and flavor!
