Ingredients
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup mixed vegetables, finely chopped
2 eggs
1/2 cup shredded cheese
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Olive oil, for frying
Instructions
Place the cooked rice into a large mixing bowl.
Add the chopped vegetables, eggs, shredded cheese, flour, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix everything together until fully combined and slightly sticky.
Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Scoop portions of the mixture into the skillet and gently flatten into fritter shapes.
Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, sour cream, or yogurt dip.
Notes
Leftover rice works best because it helps the fritters hold together.
Add vegetables like corn, peas, zucchini, carrots, spinach, or broccoli for variety.
Parmesan cheese, paprika, or fresh herbs add extra flavor.
For a spicy version, mix in chili flakes or diced jalapeños.
To bake instead of frying, cook on a lined baking sheet at 400°F (200°C), flipping halfway through.
