Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Rice First 🍚
Spread cooked brown rice on a sheet pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to remove excess moisture, which prevents soggy cakes and helps them hold together better during cooking.
Shred Mozzarella Yourself 🧀
Freshly shredded mozzarella melts more evenly and creates those signature stretchy strands compared to pre-shredded varieties, which contain anti-caking agents that inhibit proper melting.
Toast Your Cakes in Batches 🔥
Don't overcrowd the pan—cook in single batches over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side to develop a golden, crispy exterior while keeping the interior tender and cheesy.
Bind with Egg Strategy 🥚
Lightly beat eggs with a pinch of salt before mixing into rice to ensure even distribution and optimal binding power without overworking the mixture, which can make the cakes dense.
Flavor Build with Seasoning Layers 🌶️
Mix dried spices and herbs directly into the rice mixture, then finish with fleur de sel or flaky sea salt after cooking to add brightness and prevent a buried, flat-tasting final dish.
