Leftover rice gets a complete transformation when turned into these golden, crispy avo rice crackers. By shallow frying seasoned, packed rice rounds, you get a satisfying crunch that provides the ideal sturdy base for creamy, smashed avocado and a kick of spicy vegan mayo. It is a straightforward approach to repurposing pantry staples into a textured snack that hits all the right savory notes.
The contrast between the hot, crisp exterior of the rice patty and the cool, buttery avocado makes these a practical choice for a quick lunch or an informal appetizer. A dusting of black onion seeds or sesame adds a subtle nuttiness, while the sriracha-spiked mayo ties everything together with just enough heat to cut through the richness of the fruit.
You will find this method particularly useful when you have a small amount of sushi or standard rice sitting in the fridge. Because the patties hold their shape so well, they serve as a great platform for experimentation, whether you want to stick with the classic avocado topping or add other quick garnishes from your kitchen.
