About

Like the salad, this is cooked sticky rice tossed with seasonings. But peanuts are added for crunch, butter for a velvety texture, and an egg for substance. You take the mixture and sauté it quickly to make crisp cakes that—with their quickly made sauce—make a great first course, snack, or Asian-style side dish.
