(Leftover) Fried Rice Latkes or Pancakes

SERVES 4

Ingredients

* 1 1/2 cups fried rice
* 1 egg, beaten
* 1-3 tablespoon flour
* vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

1. Mix together the egg and rice.

2. Add flour a tablespoon at a time and stir to combine. You want it to be sort of stiff so it will hold together. You may need more or less flour than called for.

3. Pour a little oil into a frying pan; about half way up the side of the pan. Heat on medium.

4. I used a small ice cream type scoop, a little over a tablespoon in size, too drop a little of the rice mixture into the hot oil. Press down a little with the back of the spoon to flatten. My rice had water chestnuts and baby corn in it, so I didn't flatten too much.

5. Fry until browned on one side then flip and fry the other side until brown.

6. Drain on a paper towel lined plate until ready to serve. You can keep them warm in the oven until they are all done.

7. Serve warm with your favorite sauce.
