Tips:

Choose the right rice. Medium grain brown rice is best for this recipe, as it holds its shape well when cooked.
Cook the rice properly. Be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking, and cook it according to the package directions.
Let the rice cool completely. This will help the fritters hold their shape better.
Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to the fritters.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
Fry the fritters in hot oil. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Serve the fritters hot. They're best when served fresh out of the fryer.

Conclusion:

Brown rice fritters are a delicious and healthy way to use up leftover rice. They're easy to make and can be customized with a variety of vegetables and seasonings. Serve them as an appetizer, side dish, or main course.
