1 Combine all ingredients except oil in a large bowl and stir with a spoon.

2 Heat a pan over a high heat and spray with oil. With clean hands, shape rice mixture into palm-sized patties. Place into the hot pan. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through. Serve with salad, or if you make them without meat or fish, serve them as a tasty side dish with meat.
