Fried Rice Cookies are a delicious spin on the classic sweet cookies, popularized in Asia and the United States. They are made with cooked rice, cheese, milk, eggs, ham, and parsley, then fried until crispy and golden brown. Fried Rice Cookies are ideal for a savory snack, an appetizer, or a party treat. They are also versatile and can be made to suit different tastes and dietary restrictions.

Instructions

1.In a mixing bowl, combine cooked rice, grated cheese, milk, chopped parsley, baking powder, all-purpose flour, and eggs. Mix thoroughly to form a thick batter.
2.Stir in the chopped ham, then let the batter sit for 5 minutes, allowing the baking powder to activate.
3.Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop a heaping tablespoon of batter and drop it into the pan. Repeat until the pan is full but not overcrowded.
4.Fry the cookies for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter.
5.Serve the Fried Rice Cookies warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional chopped parsley, if desired.
