Rice Pancake (Topped with a Sunny Side Up Egg) 🍳

I always seem to cook too much rice. This recipe turns leftover rice into a crispy, tasty pancake that can be eaten on its own or used as a base for all kinds of toppings. I like to eat my rice pancakes topped with an egg, but you could also use kimchi, pulled pork, ham, etc. Or they’re great on their own! 😋

Ingredient

Food ration :

Makes 8 pancakes

Cooking time :

About 4 minutes per batch.

2 cups

leftover rice

large eggs

1/4 teaspoon

salt

1/8 teaspoon

freshly ground pepper

1/2

of a shallot, diced (enough for about 2 tablespoons)

1/2 teaspoon

fresh thyme leaves (or 1/4 teaspoon dried)

1/4 cup

shredded cheese of your choice (like mozzarella, Parmesan, cheddar, Colby, etc.)

3 Tablespoons

neutral oil for frying

1-2

eggs per serving

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Finely dice half a shallot.

* Step 2

Fry the shallot in a small amount of neutral oil (or a pat of butter, if you prefer). Cook until the shallot is translucent. Set aside to cool slightly.

* Step 3

In a medium size bowl, whisk two large eggs. Add the salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir well.

* Step 4

To the egg mixture, add the 2 cups of rice and stir well.

* Step 5

Add the cheese and cooled shallots. Stir again until everything is well blended.

* Step 6

Heat 3 tablespoons of neutral oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. I used canola oil. Transfer enough of the rice mixture to the skillet to form pancakes. The rice mixture initially will be very loose and won’t stick together too well. Don’t worry! Just use a silicone spoon or your spatula to press the pancake into around shape, and then let it fry.

* Step 7

Allow the pancakes to fry for approximately two minutes. Flip them and continue to cook the other side. The goal is to cook the pancakes to deeply golden brown.

* Step 8

Transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Continue this process until all of the mixture has been made into pancakes.

* Step 9

Wipe out the skillet and use it to cook your sunny side up egg. Place the egg on top of the rice pancake, sprinkle with parsley, and serve!

* Step 10

Notes: 🍚 Fully cooked bacon or finely chopped ham (or even Spam!) can be added to the pancakes if you prefer. 🍚 If you don’t like shallots, you can use sweet onion or green onion instead.
