These Asian Inspired Rice Potato Patties are made from leftover Take Out Asian Food. I found I had two cups extra rice leftover so I thought I’d repurpose the rice and this is what I came up with this time. The Patties came out tasty and very flavorful. I don’t think they need a dipping sauce but if you want to make one a little mayo mixed with a little bit sriracha would be fine. I also added a little bit of gochujang, splash of black vinegar and a splash of shaohsing. This recipe makes 8 patties. so it makes 4-8 servings depending on how many patties you want to eat.
