I told my 8.5yo that i will make a rice burger for him for lunch yesterday. He then loudly exclaimed that, “rice burger is bad food!!”. This is due to us constantly reminding the kids that hamburgers from McD and such arent the healthiest of choice when it comes to food. So, it’s kinda like drilled into them since young.
After googling for a nice pic of a rice burger to show him what i’ll be making for him, he then pushed me off the chair and asked me to go to the kitchen to make one for him whilst saying, “rice burger is good food”. LOL.
And so, here’s my version which i made for him today.
First, prepare a bowl of rice. This was last night’s leftover. We cook with mixed grains, hence the reddish-brownish tone of the rice.
Roll the rice into a big riceball, and flatten it with your palm. Wet your palms by dipping your fingers into a bowl of water every now and then. This will lessen the chances of the rice sticking to your palm as you press down to flatten the ball into patties. Bits of rice will tend to fall off the side of the pattie during the shaping process. So, push them in with your thumb as you turn the pattie around on your palm.
And here you have two nice flattened rice patties ready for frying.
I used my one-egg-frying-pan to fry the rice patties.
here they are, nicely browned on each side. Set aside to cool.
Sorry, i forgot to take pic of the meat patties. But since my kids dun fancy eating the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber or wateva garnishings one normally places between the meat patties and the rice, i have them chopped and mixed into the meat patties :p
And here’s how my rice burger looked like. All that’s needed is ketchup/chilli sauce on one side, and mayonnaise on the other to make a great tasting rice burger for lunch that my kids will never say no to. A good idea to get kids that dont fancy rice to eat rice, yeah!!!! Hope you all enjoyed my rice burger pics and have a great weekend
