•INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare the Rice Mixture:
Add 200g of cooked rice to a bowl.
Crack 1 egg into the rice and mix well.
Sauté the Vegetables:
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Add the chopped carrot and stir-fry for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Transfer the sautéed vegetables to the bowl with the rice.
Combine Ingredients:
Add 1 tbsp of all-purpose flour and 2 tbsp of Parmesan cheese to the bowl.
Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of crushed red pepper.
Mix everything well until thoroughly combined.
Form and Coat the Patties:
Place bread crumbs on a plate.
Scoop the rice mixture into balls using a spoon or your hands, then flatten each ball to form a patty.
Roll each patty in the bread crumbs to coat evenly. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Fry the Patties:
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Place the breaded patties into the pan and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
Once fried, remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm and enjoy!
