   Have you ever tried mixing the rice into the raw egg and scrambling all together rather than mixing later?

   I’m guessing that mixing the egg and rice together first would interfere with shaping the cakes into compact squares — it’s the glutinous properties of the sushi rice that allow it to hold its form as “cakes”. If you scramble egg + rice together first, you’ve got the start of my mom’s fried rice recipe. While that’s also delicious, it’s not something you can eat a race speed out of a foil wrapper.

   (BTW, thanks for leaving in the forked-up footage, that was sweet!)

   So for the sweet version, you’d have…
   Rice
   Eggs?
   Honey
   Fruit

   Anything else?
   Cheers

   Thank you Allen!! Just curious though, how well do they freeze if I make large batch? Seems like they might keep you cool also untill thawed and ready to eat.. Do you use eggs when making the sweet ones with fruit? Thanks for any info, looking foward to making them. Ryan

   I make them by cooking up a cup of rice, then mixing in 3 raw eggs, parmasan cheese, ham or bacon and some chives.

   Pour the mixture into a baking slice tray and into the oven to cook (about 15-20 mins on a med temp).

   They come out all firm but easy to eat and there is less mess this way to clean up. Cut into bite size chunks and wrap in foil.

   I’ve kept them in the fridge for a week like this but they do tend to dry out a bit.

   I’ve made them like this for a few weeks now and they rock!
