Chef and cookbook author Mei Li has a passion for diminishing food waste and teaching others to shop in their own fridges. This recipe for rice fritters is a great way to utilize leftover ingredients. She says, “It’s always handy to have a bunch of recipes for using up the leftovers you might have. The classic one is fried rice, but it’s nice to actually change it up, fritterizing anything makes it really delicious.”
This recipe can use up extra rice, random cheeses, and cooked vegetables in your house. And you’re much more likely to entice kids if you put leftovers into a golden-brown fried patty.
