We generally make these rice cakes for breakfast but occasionally enjoy them for dinner when my mum is out of town and I want to make something quick and easy.

Growing up, I remember my mum making these for me every time we had leftover rice in the fridge. They are great topped with salsa!

This recipe is a good base — have fun changing it up and making it your own.
