Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pieces cheese slice
- 2 leaves lettuce
- 1 small tomato
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 2
Divide the rice mixture into four equal parts and shape each portion into a round, flat patty approximately 4 inches wide.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add two rice patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with the remaining patties using the remaining oil.
Step 4
While the rice patties cool slightly, wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
Step 5
To assemble the sandwich, place one rice patty on a plate as the base. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly on the patty.
Step 6
Layer a lettuce leaf, a slice of cheese, and 2-3 slices of tomato on top. Drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of ketchup for added flavor.
Step 7
Top with a second rice patty to complete the sandwich. Repeat the process for the second sandwich.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Quick Rice Sandwich!
