Ingredients

1/2 young cabbage, finely chopped
1 cup rice
2 cups water
2 eggs
Salt, to taste
80 grams mozzarella cheese, shredded
Olive oil

Directions

Cook the Rice
In a pot, combine 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water. Cook the rice until it’s fully cooked and tender. Let it cool slightly.

Prepare the Mixture
In a large bowl, beat 2 eggs and add a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Add the cooked rice, chopped cabbage, and shredded mozzarella cheese to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly.

Form Patties
Take about 3-4 tablespoons of the mixture and form into patties.

Cook the Patties
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over low heat.
Fry the patties, covered, for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve
Serve hot and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions
Serve with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Pair with a dollop of sour cream or a tangy yogurt dip for added flavor.

Cooking Tips
Ensure the rice is slightly cooled before mixing it with the eggs to prevent scrambling.
For a crispier texture, fry the patties on medium-high heat and then reduce to low to cook through.
