Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked short-grain white rice
- 0.5 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 cup almond milk
- 0.25 cup chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine ground flaxseed and water to make a flax egg. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked rice, nutritional yeast, almond milk, chickpea flour, flax egg, olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Fold the chopped green onions into the rice mixture.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add coconut oil.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the rice mixture to form a patty using your hands or a mold.
Place the rice patty in the heated pan, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the rice cakes from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process for the remaining rice mixture.
Serve the dairy-free cheesy rice cakes warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
