Method

Preparation for Fried Dirty Rice Cakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dirty Rice Mixture

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, green bell pepper, and garlic; sauté until softened. Add the ground beef and andouille sausage, cooking until browned. Stir in the cooked rice, cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Once the rice mixture is cooled, stir in the beaten egg. Shape the mixture into small patties or cakes, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Dredge each cake in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat with bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the rice cakes in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
