Instructions

  1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the cooked rice, egg yolk, and salt. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
  2. 2Shape the rice mixture into flat cakes, approximately two and a half inches in diameter and one-half an inch thick.
  3. 3Roll the rice cakes in bread crumbs to coat evenly. Heat the butter (or lard) in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the rice cakes in the hot fat until they are golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
  4. 4If the egg does not sufficiently moisten the rice, add one tablespoon of milk to the rice mixture before shaping.
