Don’t let leftover rice go to waste! This recipe shows you how to make delicious and satisfying rice pancakes using simple ingredients. They’re perfect for a quick meal or a delightful snack for children.
Main Ingredients- 2 bowls cooked rice (leftover is fine)
- 3 eggs
- 2 pieces ham
- 1 handful king oyster mushrooms
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s make a simple and crispy rice pancake using leftover rice from your fridge! It’s a fantastic option for tonight’s dinner or a yummy snack for the kids.
Step 2
First, prepare the vegetables and ham for the pancakes. Finely julienne the onion, carrot, chives, king oyster mushrooms, and ham. Cutting them thinly will help them mix well with the rice and cook evenly. Place the prepared vegetables and ham into a bowl, then add the 2 bowls of cooked rice.
Step 3
Crack the 3 eggs into the bowl with the rice, vegetables, and ham. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper for seasoning. Gently mix everything together with your hands or a spatula until well combined, ensuring there are no clumps. Taste the mixture and, if it seems a bit bland, add a tiny bit more salt to adjust the seasoning. The mixture should hold together nicely without being too wet.
Step 4
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is hot, scoop spoonfuls of the rice mixture and place them into the pan, flattening them into round pancake shapes. Cooking over high heat can burn the outside before the inside is cooked, so be sure to use medium-low heat. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, then carefully flip and cook the other side until it’s also golden brown and delicious.
Step 5
Once both sides are beautifully golden and crispy, your delicious rice pancakes are ready! Serve them warm for the best texture – crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They’re also great served with a side of ketchup or soy sauce.
