Chinese Rice Cakes

Directions

1. 1
   If your rice has any large items (like whole shrimp) pull these out and chop into small pieces. Add back to rice.
2. 2
   Put rice in a mixing bowl. Add egg, and mix to coat rice. If the rice is not well coated, add another egg.
3. 3
   Stir in flour. The mixture should be fairly loose, but not runny.
4. 4
   Heat enough oil to coat the bottom of a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
5. 5
   Drop the rice mixture by tablespoons into hot oil. Gently flatten each spoonful with the back of a spoon, so that it is about 1/4 inch thick.
6. 6
   Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
7. 7
   Remove to a rack covered with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
8. 8
   Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce, or cool completely before adding to your bento box.
