Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked short-grain brown rice
- 0.5 cup Chopped fresh chives
- 0.5 cup Finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseeds
- 5 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseeds with 5 tablespoons of water to create a flax egg. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes gelatinous.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked short-grain brown rice, chopped fresh chives, finely chopped onion, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the prepared flax egg to the rice mixture and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Form the rice mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties on the skillet. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
Transfer the cooked rice cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining olive oil and rice mixture, adding oil as needed.
Serve the Vegan Chive and Onion Rice Cakes warm as a snack or side dish. Enjoy!
