Spicy Rice Cakes Recipes

Ingredients :

1 garlic clove, crushed

1/2 inch piece fresh root ginger, peeled and finely chopped

1/4 tsp ground turmeric

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp chili sauce

2 tsp fish or soy sauce

2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander juice of 1/2 lime

1/2 cup dry weight long grain rice, cooked

peanuts, chopped

2/3 cup vegetable oil, for deep-frying

coriander sprigs, to garnish

In a food processor, process the garlic, ginger and turmeric. Add the sugar, salt, chili and fish or soy sauce, coriander and lime juice. Add 3/4 of the cooked rice and process until smooth and sticky. Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in the remainder of the rice. Wet your hands and shape into thumb-size balls. Roll the balls in chopped peanuts to coat evenly. Then set aside until ready to cook and serve. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan. Prepare a tray lined with kitchen paper to drain the rice cakes. Deep-fry three cakes at a time until crisp and golden, remove with a slotted spoon, then drain on the kitchen paper before serving hot.
