A great recipe to use up leftover rice!
Great as fritters with vegetables or salad or as burger patty.
The left overs are great as a filling in a sandwich with salad or as a toasted sandwich with bit of angel food cheese or other melty vegan cheese and tomato. Heat the patty first in the sandwich press and then put together with the bread and other ingredients so it heats all the way through.
A big thank you to Caroline Jack for the recipe.
