How to Make Wholegrain Brown Rice Cakes at Home

Making whole-grain brown rice cakes at home is simple and can be a healthy snack option. Here's a basic recipe for homemade brown rice cakes:

Cook the Rice

Cook 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 40-45 minutes until soft and sticky. Let the rice cool completely so it is easy to handle.

Prepare the Mixture

Once the rice is cool, transfer it to a bowl. Season with sesame seeds or spices for added flavour. Mix the rice well so that it holds together.

Shape the Rice Cakes

Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking. Take small amounts of the rice mixture and shape it into flat round cakes. If you want perfectly round cakes, you can use a cookie cutter or a small mould.

Bake the Rice Cakes

Place the shaped rice cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, then flip them over and bake until they become firm and slightly crispy.

Cool and Serve

Let the rice cakes cool down to harden further. Once cooled, they’ll be crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
