Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked brown rice
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 stalks scallions, finely chopped
• 1 unit large egg
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped scallions.

Step 2

Crack the egg into the mixture and add garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients come together into a sticky batter.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into a rough patty using damp hands. Place the patty into the hot skillet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, cooking in batches if necessary.

Step 5

Cook each fritter for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden brown and crisp.

Step 6

Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet if cooking in batches, and repeat the frying process with the rest of the mixture.

Step 8

Serve the fritters warm with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
