These crispy rice cakes topped with creamy, spicy mayo are a flavor-packed snack or appetizer that will have you hooked from the first bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked white rice (day-old rice works best)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • Green onions, thinly sliced for garnish
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of cooked white rice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix well to coat the rice evenly.
  2. Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking, then form the rice mixture into small, compact patties—about 2 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to your non-stick skillet and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Carefully place the rice cakes into the skillet in a single layer. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. In a small bowl, mix ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Sriracha, and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
  6. Sprinkle the crispy rice cakes with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
  7. Arrange the rice cakes on a platter and serve with the spicy mayo on the side for dipping.

Notes

[‘Use day-old rice for best results as it is drier and holds its shape better.’, ‘If the rice mixture feels too wet, add a tablespoon of panko breadcrumbs to help bind.’, ‘Fry the rice cakes in batches to ensure even cooking and crispiness.’, ‘Customize the spicy mayo by adding chili oil, crushed red pepper flakes, or a splash of soy sauce for extra flavor.’]
