Directions for the rice cakes

  1. Portion the cold rice mixture into 1/4 cup servings.  Form each serving into a tight ball (like a meatball) and then flatten into a tight disk.  Keep your hands moist with water to prevent the rice from sticking.
  2. Lightly coat a rice cake with flour.  Then dip into the eggs, drain off excess, and coat with breadcrumbs.  Repeat for the remainder of the cakes.  Note: This is much easier to do with cold cakes.  If your cakes have become warm, pop them in the refrigerator before moving on to this step.
  3. In a frying pan, add about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil.  Heat over a medium flame until hot.  The oil is ready when a rice cake sizzles when put in the pan.  Fry each cake for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.  Transfer to a paper towel lined sheet pan to absorb any excess grease.
  4. Serve on your favorite salad.   The flavors will go best with Italian and Greek style dressings.
