Cheesy Rice Patties

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Rice Patties.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a large bowl and combine your cooked rice with chopped onion, shredded Cheddar cheese, a beaten egg, minced garlic, salt, and if you like a little kick, add some red pepper flakes.

2. Step 2

   Don’t forget to sprinkle in ground black pepper, and if you’re feeling adventurous, toss in some chopped parsley and onion powder for extra flavor.

3. Step 3

   Use your hands to mix everything together until it’s well blended; this is where the magic begins! Once your mixture is ready, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

4. Step 4

   This chilling time is crucial as it helps the patties hold their shape when you cook them.

5. Step 5

   After the mixture has chilled, divide it into four equal portions and gently shape each portion into a small patty, making sure they’re nice and compact.

6. Step 6

   Now, heat some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

7. Step 7

   When the oil is shimmering and hot, carefully place your patties in the skillet.

8. Step 8

   Fry them for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and crispy.

9. Step 9

   Once they’re perfectly cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels.
