Crispy Rice Cakes With Halloumi Cheese And Gochujang Brown Butter

Ingredients

For this delicious Crispy Rice Cakes with Halloumi Cheese and Gochujang Brown Butter dish, you will need:

2 cups cooked white jasmine rice
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 cup of shredded halloumi cheese
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/4 cup of Gochujang
3 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Begin by combining the cooked white jasmine rice and cooked brown rice in a medium mixing bowl. Mix the two together until they are fully combined. Then, add the shredded halloumi cheese and mix until it is fully incorporated into the rice. Next, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and the rice mixture, stirring to combine. Spread the rice mixture out into an even layer and let cook, stirring occasionally, until it is lightly browned and crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Then, add the Gochujang and stir until it is fully combined with the butter. Let the mixture simmer, stirring often, until it is thickened and lightly browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Once the butter and Gochujang have simmered, remove it from the heat and pour it over the crispy rice cakes. Stir until the rice cakes are evenly coated in the brown butter. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
