Prepare the mixture
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the cooked brown rice, mozzarella cheese, and salt, then stir until well combined. -
Heat the pan
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. -
Form the patties
Scoop about 1/3 cup of the rice mixture and place it into the hot oil. Use a spatula to flatten the mixture into a patty. -
Cook the rice cakes
Sauté for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until the rice cakes are golden brown and crispy. -
Serve
Remove from the pan and serve warm.
Notes
- Use cooled rice to help the patties hold their shape.
- Add green onions, herbs, or finely diced vegetables for extra flavor.
- Serve with sour cream, yogurt sauce, or a spicy dip.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet or air fryer to restore crispiness.
