Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pieces cheese slice
- 2 leaves lettuce
- 1 small tomato
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the rice mixture into four equal parts and shape each portion into a round, flat patty approximately 4 inches wide.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add two rice patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with the remaining patties using the remaining oil.
While the rice patties cool slightly, wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
To assemble the sandwich, place one rice patty on a plate as the base. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly on the patty.
Layer a lettuce leaf, a slice of cheese, and 2-3 slices of tomato on top. Drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of ketchup for added flavor.
Top with a second rice patty to complete the sandwich. Repeat the process for the second sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Quick Rice Sandwich!
