Ingredients

  • 800 g risotto leftovers no matter if you added vegtables or herbs to the risotto
  • 40 g breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil and more for frying
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • ¼ Tl siracha sauce
  • salt and pepper
  • herbs of your choice

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl with a spoon until you have a sticky, firm mixture. If your risotto was rather runny, you can add more breadcrumbs. Salt and pepper the mixture to taste.
  • Moisten your hands lightly with water and form a ball out of a small part of the mass.Flatten this ball into a rice fritter and set it aside until you have formed all the fritters.
  • Heat some olive oil in a pan. Fry the rice fritters on medium heat for 3 minutes, creating a crispy, light brown crust. Then you can turn the rice cakes and fry them in some oil on the other side for another 3 minutes. Fry all the rice cakes this way, adding a little olive oil to the pan every now and then to prevent the fritters from sticking.
  • Serve the rice pancakes with a salad, a vegetable dish or a curry. The rice fritters will last at least 3 days in the fridge.
