Ingredients 

  • 1 ½ cups boiled or fried rice leftover
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon sesame oil plus extra for greasing the waffle maker

Instructions

  • In a bowl, add the soy sauce or tamari, eggs and sesame oil. Mix well with a whisk or fork.
  • Add the leftover rice and mix until you get a creamy composition.
  • Heat the waffle maker and grease it with a little sesame oil.
  • When it's hot, add a spoonful of the rice mixture. Close and cook until the waffle is well browned.
  • Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
  • Serve the waffles warm with your favorite sauce.

Notes

Day-old rice from the fridge works better than freshly cooked, since the drier grains crisp up instead of steaming soft. Use tamari in place of regular soy sauce to keep these waffles gluten-free. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
