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.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn 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
StepPlace 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)

StepCook 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
StepContinue cooking until the second side is also golden brown and slightly crispy, about 2 more minutes. (Cook time: ~2 minutes)
06
StepRemove the rice cakes from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Serve immediately and enjoy!
