I'm not crazy about brown rice but I try to make it every now and then. Nothing beats white jasmine rice! The other night I tried to make brown rice with stir fry I made for dinner. I had the idea to put a lot more water in our rice cooker so the brown rice wouldn't be so chewy...Well, it definitely wasn't chewy. It was a little too mushy. (3 cups brown jasmine rice & 6 cups water) With the 2 cups of mushy brown rice left over, I decided I could make rice cakes. I looked on line just to see if it's been done before and sure enough it has.
The turn out:
They're not half bad! Actually Oliver loves them! (Yay!) I feel like I could have seasoned them a little more so feel free to season how ever you want! I didn't measure so here is what I dumped in the mixing bowl.
- 2 cups mushy brown rice
-1 egg
- Panko bread crumbs
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Dried parsley
- Paula Deen's house seasoning (1 cup salt, 1/4 cup ground black pepper, 1/4 cup garlic powder)
I put this on just about anything.
Hand mix and make patties, fry in olive oil until you get a golden brown crust and enjoy!
* I meant to put onions in this but forgot to. Think it would taste great!
