Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked rice
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 Scallions (green onions), chopped
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, all-purpose flour, eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped scallions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed; if needed, add a little more flour or a splash of water.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the rice mixture and shape it into a small patty using your hands.
Carefully place the rice patty into the hot oil. Repeat with more of the mixture, leaving some space between patties in the skillet to prevent overcrowding.
Cook each fritter for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Using a slotted spatula, transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining rice mixture.
Serve the rice fritters warm with your choice of dipping sauce or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
