Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a mixing bowl, gently combine the cooked rice, egg, chopped basil, and milk. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Ensure ingredients are well incorporated. (Prep time: ~2 minutes)

02

Step

Place a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, coating the bottom of the pan evenly. (Prep time: ~1 minute)

03

Step

Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, carefully scoop the rice mixture into the skillet, dividing it into two equal portions. Gently flatten each portion with the back of a spoon. (Prep time: ~1 minute)

04

Step

Cook the rice cakes until the bottom is a deep golden brown, approximately 3 minutes. Use a spatula to carefully flip the rice cakes. (Cook time: ~3 minutes)

05

Step

Continue cooking until the second side is also golden brown and slightly crispy, about 2 more minutes. (Cook time: ~2 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the rice cakes from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of regular butter.
Experiment with different herbs such as chives, parsley, or cilantro.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Top with a fried egg, avocado slices, or your favorite salsa for a complete meal.
