Brown Rice Fritters

Recipe Information

Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked or leftover brown rice
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 cup crumbled tofu
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp ground flax seeds
• 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tbsp chopped herbs
• Water, as needed for mixing
• 2–3 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

Step 1

Crumble the tofu and mash the cooked brown rice with a potato masher. Finely chop the onion and jalapeño.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the tofu, mashed rice, onion, jalapeño, garlic, ground flax seeds, salt, cumin powder, and chopped herbs. Add a little water at a time until the mixture forms a semi-thick dough.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into fritters about 1 inch thick.

Step 4

Heat the cooking oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the fritters for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

Step 5

For a lighter option, air fry the fritters at 350°F for 5–6 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking.

Step 6

Serve warm with your favorite sauce or dip. I created these tasty fritters after ending up with leftover rice from a dinner party.
