Rinse the brown rice thoroughly under cold water and drain.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 500 milliliters of water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 30 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, olive oil, chopped chives, chopped green onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take small handfuls of the rice mixture and shape them into small, flat disks about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, flip each rice cake and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the rice cakes from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container once completely cooled. These rice cakes can be enjoyed on their own or as a base for your favorite toppings.
