I think the key to having well formed patties is to use leftover rice (not freshly made), and allowing the patties to sit in the refrigerator to set. I rolled mine into balls that I then rolled into a 1/2-1/2 mixture of corn flake crumbs and Panko crumbs. I let them sit in the refrigerator for a good 45 minutes. I flattened them after I put them into the pan to fry, and served them with some sour cream with chopped green onion mixed in- DELICIOUS! This recipe is great inspiration, and easily changed to your tastes.

Made this last night and DH and I loved these...used brown rice added two eggs instead of one and some flour along with some recipe#493372#493372 mixed in for some zip. I then put in the fridge (in patty form) for an hour and fried in butter/oil mix. They crumbled a little putting them in the pan but after they cooked on one side they were fine. Definately a recipe I will use again. Thank you for posting.

I included some shredded bacon I had left over from pizzas, and a bit more egg so they held together better, plus three different types of cheese (colby, gouda and parmesan), left out the onion powder and they turned out really yummy.

I'm a big fan of rice and so I loved these rice cakes. It's a great way to use up leftover rice from the night before. I highly recommend.

SO GOOD!!! I seasoned the water the rice was cooked in and added shredded carrots instead of cheese (because I'm a sneaky grandmother!) Really super great. Husband, grown children and grandchildren loved em. Thank you!!!
