Step 1
Prepare rice according to package directions. Allow to cool.
Step 2
Whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk; stir into flour mixture. Fold in cooked rice until well coated.

Using 1/3-cup measure, roll mixture into 8 portions. Form each portion into a 1/2-inch thick patty.

Winning Avocado Toast
If you’re one of the many who enjoy delicious and creamy avocado, you’ll love this recipe which puts a tasty spin on the classic avocado toast. Made with golden, pan-fried brown rice cakes in place of toast, this dish is hearty, satisfying, and features more nutty flavor than the original.

Tip To Ripen Avocado
Ripe avocados are key in any recipe calling for avocado. To speed up the ripening process, place unripe avocados in a paper bag with an apple or a banana and store in a dark place. Generally, avocados stored this way will ripen in a few days. Then, you can eat them right away or store them in the fridge for when you’re ready to make this recipe, and more.
Use this tip to prepare even more tasty recipes using avocado. Slice it over the top of a Baja Fish Taco Bowl or scoop out the flesh and save the shells to fill with Chicken Avocado Salad.
