Prepare the Rice Mixture
Add 200g of cooked rice to a bowl.

Crack 1 egg into the rice and mix well.

Sauté the Vegetables
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Add the chopped carrot and stir-fry for an additional 3-5 minutes.

Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of crushed red pepper.
Mix everything well until thoroughly combined.
Form and Coat the Patties
Place bread crumbs on a plate.
Scoop the rice mixture into balls using a spoon or your hands, then flatten each ball to form a patty.
Roll each patty in the bread crumbs to coat evenly. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Fry the Patties
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Place the breaded patties into the pan and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.

Serve
Once fried, remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm and enjoy!
