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
- 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.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the fried rice cakes from the skillet and drain on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve hot with a side of chili sauce for dipping. Enjoy the delightful crunch and flavor!
Tips
- For a vegetarian option, you can replace the soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free version.
- Feel free to add other ingredients like grated carrots or peas for extra flavor and nutrition.
- For a spicier kick, mix some sriracha into the rice mixture before frying.
