Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked short-grain brown rice
- 0.5 cup Chopped fresh chives
- 0.5 cup Finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseeds
- 5 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseeds with 5 tablespoons of water to create a flax egg. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes gelatinous.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked short-grain brown rice, chopped fresh chives, finely chopped onion, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the prepared flax egg to the rice mixture and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 5
Form the rice mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties on the skillet. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked rice cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining olive oil and rice mixture, adding oil as needed.
Step 9
Serve the Vegan Chive and Onion Rice Cakes warm as a snack or side dish. Enjoy!
