Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup cooked, cold long grain rice
1 egg beaten
1 green onion chopped fine
1/2 cup broccoli florets, chopped
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons mixed jack and cheddar farm style cheese
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons grape seed oil and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil to fry
OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS
cocktail shrimp
diced bacon
diced ham
other vegetables
other spices

Steps:

This is a very versatile recipe. It is both, a side dish or a complete entrée. You can make the cakes as written with just broccoli, or get creative and add a huge variety of different vegetables, shrimp, bacon, ham, and chicken. Change it up!
Heat grapeseed oil and sesame oil in medium skillet over medium heat. (You can use olive oil, or peanut oil, too) You can also cook these cakes in an electric skillet.
Chop broccoli and green onion
Beat an egg with a fork in a small mixing bowl.
Add the rice, broccoli, green onions and cheese to the beaten egg in the bowl and mix well. The mixture should be stiff enough to pat with your hands into a couple of cakes about 3 or 4 inches in diameter. If not, add a little more rice to it.
Fry the two rice cakes in the hot oil. Gently turn when brown and fry the other side. When it is a nice golden brown, remove to a platter and keep warm.
Here is how it looks! Enjoy!
