Ingredients

• 1 cup Short-grain rice
• 2 cups Water
• 0.5 cup Fresh chives, chopped
• 0.5 cup Green onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 6 tablespoons Water for flax egg
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the short-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low.

Step 3

Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water to create a flax egg. Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked rice, chopped chives, chopped green onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Add the thickened flax egg to the rice mixture and stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 7

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 8

Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the rice mixture and form it into a patty with your hands. Carefully place the patty into the hot skillet. Repeat this process for more patties, but avoid overcrowding the skillet.

Step 9

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked rice cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet if necessary and repeat the process with any remaining rice mixture.

Step 11

Serve warm as a snack or appetizer. Enjoy!
